When heat.exe harvests directory it generates unique but human unreadable
directories, components and files IDs:
<Directory Id="dir44C327128861C709AEDB0EA3555D0587" Name="MyDirectory">
<Component Id="cmp04CA6ED916B15D4A669AAC63FB00ECD3"
Guid="{8EE35AF9-6CEF-43E7-91FA-C341B8D764FF}">
<File Id="fil740188E003510CC996EF84EFEA43F833" KeyPath="yes"
Source="SourceDir\File.txt" />
</Component>
</Directory>
There is option -suid, that forces heat.exe to generate human readable but
non unique IDs like *File.txt_2*.
Does heat.exe have an option to generate human readable and unique IDs like
*File.txt_04CA6ED916B15D4A669AAC63FB00ECD3*? I generate wxs file for my
merge module through heat.exe and IDs like
*fil740188E003510CC996EF84EFEA43F833* looks ugly when my merge module is
opened in Orca or when I look over an installation log. IDs like
*File.txt_04CA6ED916B15D4A669AAC63FB00ECD3* would improve visibility and
convenience significantly.
