Heat does not use file extensions to determine file types, so each of those
several hundred files is being processed as if they were binaries.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using Heat.exe

Hi,

I'm using 'heat.exe' to 'harvest' a directory with several hundred small 
files and some twenty DLLs.

- how long is that supposed to take? Currently it's running for 5hrs and 
still not done.
- When it starts, it uses up to 45MB for a while. Now it's down to 
450KB. Is that normal?

Here is the command line:
 >heat.exe dir <directory -v -gg -nologo -sw5150 -out <ourproduct>.wxs

I thought the -v would generate more information on what it is doing, 
but I get nothing after the DLLs are processed.
Is there a way to see, what it is doing?
