.targets files are MSBuild "scripts". https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164312.aspx
MSBuild is used by VS and by wix. In fact each project file (.csproj or .wixproj) is a .targets file, as the .targets extension is just a 'default' extension for a MSBuild "script" file. A developer can write .targets files to customise and control the MSBuild build process, which is what appears to have been done in the code that was posted earlier. heat.exe is just one of the tools in the wix toolset, which is used to automatically generate wix authoring (wxs files) by looking in a folder (or some other optional location). http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/alltools.html -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WSX-file-contains-extra-files-tp7599291p7599376.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
