"Brian the Wix documentation defines both a "HeatDirectory Target" and a
"HeatDirectory Task". ...."
I provided incorrect information in this thread and I appreciate John's
prompt to go research this in more detail. There is a HarvestDirectory
target and a HeatDirectory task. Here is an example of how to use the
HarvestDirectory target to harvest more than one folder tree:
<PropertyGroup>
<HarvestNoLogo>true</HarvestNoLogo>
<HarvestVerboseOutput>true</HarvestVerboseOutput>
<HarvestAutogenerateGuids>true</HarvestAutogenerateGuids>
<HarvestSupressFragments>true</HarvestSupressFragments>
<HarvestSuppressUniqueIds>true</HarvestSuppressUniqueIds>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<HarvestDirectory Include="..\path\dir1">
<DirectoryRefId>Dir1Id</DirectoryRefId>
<Transforms>transfrom1.xslt</Transforms>
<ComponentGroupName>Dir1Group</ComponentGroupName>
<PreprocessorVariable>var.Dir1Var</PreprocessorVariable>
<KeepEmptyDirectories>false</KeepEmptyDirectories>
<SuppressCom>true</SuppressCom>
<SuppressRootDirectory>true</SuppressRootDirectory>
<SuppressRegistry>true</SuppressRegistry>
<Visible>false</Visible>
</HarvestDirectory>
<HarvestDirectory Include="..\path\Dir2">
<DirectoryRefId>Dir2Id</DirectoryRefId>
<Transforms>transfrom2.xslt</Transforms>
<ComponentGroupName>Dir2Group</ComponentGroupName>
<PreprocessorVariable>var.Dir2Var</PreprocessorVariable>
<KeepEmptyDirectories>false</KeepEmptyDirectories>
<SuppressCom>true</SuppressCom>
<SuppressRootDirectory>true</SuppressRootDirectory>
<SuppressRegistry>true</SuppressRegistry>
<Visible>false</Visible>
</HarvestDirectory>
</ItemGroup>
The generated wxs files end up in ..\obj\$(Configuration) and a
ComponentGroupRef needs to be added to the project's authoring.
