Instead of modifying the WiX source directly you might want to consider writing
your own heat extension, there is an example here:

(I wrote is for WiX 3.0 but it should convert to 3.6 ok).
As you have a lot of files you may also want to consider the simpler
Component/File format e.g.:
<ComponentGroup Id="MyFiles" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION">
<Component>
<File Source="$(var.SourceDir)\MyFile1.exe" />
</Component>
<Component>
<File Source="$(var.SourceDir)\MyFile2.exe" />
</Component>
</ComponentGroup>

Subject: [WiX-users] Harvest files id and components id like
directoryname_filename.
After harvesting 1253 files, i have wxs fragment at 5163 lines.
In the project a lot of files with the same name in different directories.
Heat.exe generates is not comfortable ID, such as scheme.def.xml_22,
image.png_9 translation.qm_4.
Perhaps an option to specify a scheme of generation ID = DirectoryName_FileName?
If not ... I can try to write a thing for yourself. How to properly load the
project wix36source in visual studio 2010? There are many errors in converting
project.
