Another thought (for this case) is to use a transform with the harvester to
seek out and add the service markup to the component containing the EXE (using
XSLT). Blair From: [email protected]

Yeah, I don't know a better place to put such stuff.

Hi Rob
Regarding the harvester work, I know that you will look at this at 4.0, however
I have not made any interface-breaking changes, just internal cleanups (on the
WixVSExtension project). The behavior should stay the same except for a bug or
two that I've fixed. I'm also looking into generating output for a web
application by having the "bin" folder where all the binary files are placed.
I do want to ask a question going forward. If I wanted to specify which files
the harvester should filter out (not include in the generated file) for
technical reasons (will explain) what would be a good place to do so?
I have encountered that if you want to create a Windows NT Service installation
and I am using the harvester to locate and generate the relevant files for the
installation, it will include the EXE file, but I will need to specify the EXE
file in a component used to install the EXE as a service. This will cause a WiX
compiler error of having duplicate files specified. So I will have to let the
harvester ignore that EXE file.
A place that I thought would work is for the harvester to look in the project
file itself for files that should be ignored by the harvester. Wouldn't you
agree?
Let me know what your thoughts are.

Dandre

4.0 will start at basically same time as 3.7. I do not expect a 3.8.

Hi Rob
Ok that sounds fine to me. I'll keep an eye on the project progress.Is there
going to be a 3.7 or 3.8 update before 4.0?

This might be something to look at for WiX v4.0. Refactoring public interfaces
is definitely not a goal in WiX v3.x (breaking changes not at all allowed).
Right now it is about finishing Burn in v3.6.
A few months and we'll be on to new stuff.

Hi Rob (or whomever this may concern)
Would you please have a look at the refactoring work I did in the fork called
'WixVSHarvesterEnhancements'? (Whenever you have time)
It involves the Visual Studio Harvester and the refactorings I made (not done
yet) to make it easier for additional enhancements (like harvesting project
references) and more readable (and hopefully maintainable).
Would you be interested in having a look to see if you would accept that as a
pull request once its done? I know there is still more cleanups to be done,
nevermind testing.
I don't want to continue if this never finds its way into the original wix
source. I understand that you don't just want someone changing the way and
style things are done and have it disrupted.
You can find the changes in the \src\ext\VSExtension\wixext path.
Shout if you need some explanation.
Much appreciated.
Thanks
Regards,
Dandre
