Hello,
I have found a very strange problem.
In my installer i'm creating several registry keys and values (COM
assembly registration). They are all created without any issues, they
are fully accessible using registry editor, they have sufficient
permissions to be accessed by any local user, but
OK. That had not occurred to me. The project is under source control so
it may be that I need to check out some part or all of the project.
Thanks!!

It shouldn't be giving this message, but have you tried building the project? I
ask because it could be a secondary file (like the primary output) that heat is
trying to open (and is causing the exception to occur).

There's additional logging before that line that might be helpful to
pinpoint the cause.

Hi,
My project has four configurations: "Server Debug," "Server Release," "Client
Debug" and "Client Release."
The Server and Client configurations are distinguishable by the definition of a
preprocessor variable named "Server" through the Build tab in the project
property sheet.

I am still new to WiX, but maybe set each feature's level to 0 then
changing them to 1 with your custom action. Then when the user gets to
the customize dialogue they should be able to enable disable the feature.

The installer needs to go an create some folders there, so I'm not sure

You have to individually include each file into the installer. However
there's a quick way to do that called heat.exe.
