Thanks for your help Brian. I have raised this on as a bug on sourceforge. I can get by without the -cg switch which means I now have an automated build process which incorporates Heat to generate the fragment, rather than our developers having to manually update the fragments (we have 1000's of files).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Automating Heat Hey Jon, If you could add a bug to sourceforge.net for this issue and how to repro it that would be great. The warning message was specific to the -cg switch. This warning is being removed in WiX 3.5.
