We're using HEAT to create <Fragment>s from files:
CD "%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows Installer XML v3\bin" HEAT file EXCEL8.OLB -gg -out EXCEL8.wxs That works pretty well as long as HEAT and EXCEL8.OLB are located in the same folder. But if they are not, both of the following commands will fail: CD "C:\" "%PROGRAMFILES%\bin\HEAT" file EXCEL8.OLB -gg -out EXCEL8.wxs or CD "%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows Installer XML v3\bin" HEAT file "C:\EXCEL8.OLB" -gg -out EXCEL8.wxs The result is always the same: heat.exe : error HEAT0001 : The Value must not be NULL.
