Hello Brian, thanks for your response below. It solved just about everything for me. Now I have a problem with the heat output: <File Id="filECAD2FA36BABE7788C7D38952DE30E56" KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\" So I tried to do this here: Adding this: <HeatDirectory PreprocessorVariable="$(var.MyVar)" .../> based on your heat examples here: http://icumove.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FB93073C6534B681!461.entry
But I am not quite sure how to define this variable in the wix project file or if I can? What I am trying to do is have this point to my output directory ie:Debug or Release\ Can you give me an idea of what I need to do here.
