Hi,
I am using heat.exe to generate from each file in a specified folder a
proper component fragment which will be referenced afterwards.
Unfortunately, heat always generates for each .dll also a <Class>,
<ProgId> and a lot of <RegistryValue> tags which result in the following
error message while building:
"The Class/@Server attribute was not found; it is required." Thus, I am
asking:
+ Does anybodu knows where this is necessary for and could explain it in
a detailed way to me as a WiX newcomer?
+ I am also wondering if there isn't an option to prevent "heat" from
generating such tags and deals with .dlls in the same way it does with
other files.
Second, when generating a directory "heat" inserts the <Directory> tag
of the harvested directory at the top of the file. In my case this is
very useless, because I specified the directories already in the "main"
.wxs file. Thus, my questions are:
+ Does someone know why this tag is generated? If not, how should the
generated file be used without editing it? Maybe I structured my
installation in a wrong way and you could give me an example how it
should work.
+ And again, I would like to know if anybody knows an option for heat to
leave that undone.
Generally, I would really appreciate if anybody has a list of options
the "heat"-tool could be controled with. The ones showing up by /? are
not exhaustive since for example also the option -gg is not reported
which definitely generated the GUID in upper letters.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Christof
