OK, Brian I am back again with a new question. Been Digging around the wix code. :) Now I have tried out Project harvester and the problem is I cannot get in all the dll's included with the project. Basically we have multiple projects in the solution. So I tried to use the "Satellites" ProjectOutputGroup which I think would do the trick, but it is not working for me(I probably am doing it wrong, but tried command line also and no output). So basically all I get out is the projects .exe file outputed. Really what I need is all the output from the solution file. So I was thinking that I probably have to use heatdirectory again.
Here is the wix.proj file and the output so you can better see: Thanks for your help. <Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <PropertyGroup> <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration> <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">x86</Platform> <ProductVersion>1.0</ProductVersion> <ProjectGuid>{1bc4cf27-badd-47e0-87a7-9e3ed0c8c50b}</ProjectGuid> <SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion> <OutputName>Wix_TagImport</OutputName> <OutputType>Package</OutputType> <WixToolPath>..\..\DLL\Wix\</WixToolPath> <WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)\wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath> <WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup> <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == ''">Debug</Configuration> <OutputName>msbuild.heatfile</OutputName> <OutputType>Package</OutputType> <WixToolPath>..\..\DLL\Wix\</WixToolPath> <Cultures>en-us</Cultures> <LinkerBaseInputPaths>..\..\DLL\Wix\</LinkerBaseInputPaths> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="Components.wxs" /> </ItemGroup> <Import Project="$(WixToolPath)\Wix.targets" /> <UsingTask TaskName="HeatProject" AssemblyFile="$(WixToolPath)WixUtilExtension.dll" /> <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <HeatProject Project="..\PrestigeTagImportStandaloneHost\PrestigeTagImportStandaloneHost.csproj" ProjectOutputGroups="Binaries" OutputFile="Components.wxs" AutogenerateGuids="true" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)"/> </Target> <UsingTask TaskName="HeatProject" AssemblyFile="$(WixToolPath)WixUtilExtension.dll" /> <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <HeatProject Project="..\PrestigeTagImportStandaloneHost\PrestigeTagImportStandaloneHost.csproj" ProjectOutputGroups="Satellites" OutputFile="Components2.wxs" AutogenerateGuids="true" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)"/> </Target> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' "> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath> <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath> <DefineConstants>Debug</DefineConstants> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' "> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath> <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <WixExtension Include="WixUtilExtension"> <HintPath>$(WixToolPath)\WixUtilExtension.dll</HintPath> </WixExtension> <WixExtension Include="WixUIExtension"> <HintPath>$(WixToolPath)\WixUIExtension.dll</HintPath> </WixExtension> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="WixUI_Minimal_NoLicense.wxs" /> <Compile Include="Wix_TagImport.wxs" /> </ItemGroup> <Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" /> <!-- To modify your build process, add your task inside one of the targets below and uncomment it.
