Each of the WiX toolset web sites has at least one link to the bug
database. I like this one: http://wixtoolset.org/bugs. Click the Add new

I've installed the latest version of WiX (V3.6.3206.0) in VS 2012 and have
followed the Creating a Simple Setup item under Working in Visual
Studio.
After adding a value for Manufacturer (something not mentioned in the help
topic) as it causes error CNDL0006, the project builds and produces 2

Harvesting has been disabled in 3.6, I think because it was rather buggy.
Brilliant!
I guess everyone in the know has long since stopped using it - despite it
being the default modus operandi mentioned in the documentation to get folks
going?

The documentation is supposed to explicitly call out that harvesting was
disabled in WiX v3.6 due to many issues that arose at the end of WiX v3.5.
Can you point out the documentation that still recommends harvesting so we
can fix it?

The official website: http://wixtoolset.org (and our old but not yet
migrated website: http://wix.sourceforge.net) have links to the Tutorial
and the Book. The Manual documentation is reference manual level
documentation, not tutorial or multi-page book introduction material.

Ahh, that is absolutely a bug in the documentation. Please do file it. The
harvesting related steps there need to be removed or, at least, moved to a
footnote with a pointer to the documentation that says how harvesting is
disabled by default.
That is absolutely the kind of bug we can miss when
When you say the harvest functionality has been disabled, are you referring
to a particular part of Heat.exe? Like for me, harvesting a project didn't
work out too well (it didn't pick up the dependencies), but harvesting a
directory works just fine. Is the new info in the help files?
