Re: [WiX-users] How to deploy all the files inside the folder rather than specifying each files
Lingappa, Attached are two files: PackageTree.cs, a custom task that generates an XML file containing a WiX fragment, and metadata.cs an auxilary class that handles the GUIDS. The code is still a bit rough around the edges, but works fine. A .metadata.xml file is created in every subdirectory to store the GUIDs that the task creates for each component. You will get warnings for every file the first time it runs, and then from then on just warnings when new files are added. You want something like this in your wixproj file to get it to run and create a fragment file called "tree.wxs" that contains components for each file ending in .txt in c:\some\directory. The generated file will automatically get compiled.

Thanks in advance. Lingappa , I needed to do something like this, so I wrote an msbuild custom task that automatically generates a .wxs file. It generates a GUID per component and stores that in an XML configuration file. When it finds a new file it generates a new GUID and updates its configuration file. It's not something that's too hard in C#.

You can use heat.exe to make your life easier. There are various posts on how to use it to obtain a WIX fragment that you can directly use in your poroject.
