Re: [WiX-users] How to resolve WiX Warning: Too Many Componentswithin Feature ?
An easy workaround would be to create child Features under your main Feature to split the components up into smaller chunks without affecting the functionality. If your components are within separate Fragments you could consider creating FeatureGroups containing the Components in each Fragment referencing them appropriately in you main Feature Element.

Re: [WiX-users] How to resolve WiX Warning: Too Many Componentswithin Feature ?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I understood the question not only as a general How can I resolve/avoid this warning, since that seems to be quite clear from the excellent error message and the link to the ICE documentation as well. I assume the OP would like to stay with his current harvesting using heat and therefor boldly claim that the _real_ question is: Can I avoid causing the warning without manual intervention/still using heat? (Maybe related: Why is heat generating a component per file anyway? Came up only a few days ago as Heat harvesting and fragment/component generation where the question was if heat couldn't just create a component per directory instead and Brian Rogers answered with No, there isn't a way to do that. Gather all files at the folder level and putting them into a component can lead to many problems.) I followed that one closely, because I'm currently tracking my ~250 files by hand, to make sure that the layout/structure makes sense to me - and basically end up more or less with a component per directory for now.

Awesome, thanks. Hope I didn't hijack the thread to much with that.
