Hi Palbinder I thought this would be the case.
Thanks for your time -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: 26 October 2010 10:39 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] run time harvesting Not with WiX. I've seen other installation creation suites doing something like that but you'll need to buy licenses to use them. Windows Installer needs every file declared within the MSI for it to be able to install them, any package which doesn't require you to do this yourself is simply abstracting the process from you. This makes it easier to use for new users but much more prone to causing you problems with regards to things like patching & upgrading. There are methods for using heat.exe as an automated step which have been discussed on this list and/or list contributor blogs in the past. Same caveats as above apply.

This would mean that I could add files to the folder for install without going through the harvesting-compile-link process again. Would appreciate any help you can give.
