I am trying to learn WiX (and MSI, with a background in non-MSI setup development). I hope to contribute to the WiX community at some point, but for now I am experimenting with heat.exe and dark.exe as I learn.
There are various examples of using heat.exe which have command line switches that are not documented in the CHM, which is included in Wix37. So maybe it is a mistake to look at of those examples. I tried: call "%wixtools%\heat.exe">"%log%" dir "%AppDir%" -cg "DIST_RSS" -gg -ke -template:Product -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -dr INSTALLLOCATION -var which resulted in the following warning, but did seem to produce a wix file for me to study. heat.exe : warning HEAT1108 : The command line switch 'template:' is deprecated. Please use 'template' instead. Since the -template: switch is not documented in the CHM I probably should not have tried it, but what does the warning message mean by saying to "use 'template' instead"? Also the -sreg -sfrag -srd switches are not documented in the CHM, but were advised here: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/archive/2010/02/23/WiX-3-Tutorial-Generating-filedirectory-fragments-with-Heat.exe.aspx They did not produce any warnings, and I am not sure what they do yet, but does the lack of a warning indicate that they should be documented? Thanks for the assistance.
