Am I asking this question in the wrong group? After downloading the Wix source and pondering on this a bit further, instead of taking a list of dependent dlls I believe it would be better to take a single/list of fragments containing the harvested data of the dependent component.

Due to the way heat is harvesting (via registry redirection) the changes, the other components will not be available. About the only thing I can think of is to add an option to heat to add a list of dependent modules as a parameter to heat. Then in the code we would need to preload all those dependents, load our file to harvest, register the dependents and our harvest file, and then unregister our dependents. This should result in a close to pure image of what our module changed (assuming the dependent modules do clean up everything they add). Thoughts?
