Okay so that's why it might be heat that is causing my problem with vs complaining about having extra files. I need to either let heat pull the file into the wix installer or explicitly specify inclusion of the file in the wix installer. Thanks again for your help. From: Phill Hogland [via

I would not draw that conclusion, but I don't have enough information. My guess is that you have a MSBuild script which is building some application project (maybe in VS or not) and that there is an 'output' folder full of generated files. Then my guess is that, as part of building the wix

WXS file is missing files: or Error 5 WXS file contains extra files: are not in the wix source code. My guess is that you have heat authoring and a MSBuild script that you need to understand, which is generating those messages. I don't think it has anything to do with wix or vs2008.
