I want to harvest a reg file using heat. The wxs file is generated using: heat reg data.reg" -ag -sfrag -cg Registry -o Registry.wxs
The call to heat succeeds but when I build the installer the following error message occurs: Registry.wxs (4): The Directory element requires the Name attribute because there is no parent Directory element. Registry.wxs (4): The 'TARGETDIR' directory has an illegal DefaultDir value of '.'. The DefaultDir value is created from the *Name attributes of the Directory element. The TARGETDIR directory is a special directory which must have its Name attribute set to 'SourceDir'. The wxs looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="cmp192C2067BF422127FEC40BCE630A75F6" Guid="*" KeyPath="yes"> ... </Directory> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="Registry"> <ComponentRef Id="cmp192C2067BF422127FEC40BCE630A75F6" /> <ComponentRef Id="cmp64EC0CE2294B6E5EDA5AA472234A5F3C" /> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> What are the right parameters for heat for processing reg files? How do i include the generated wxs to my main wxs file? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/heat-parameters-for-harvesting-a-reg-file-tp7578774.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
