Status: Open
Resolution: None

Summary: Heat /? does not show all options

Initial Comment:
The usage message for heat is incorrect. Just a 
plain "heat /?" only shows:
Microsoft (R) Windows Installer XML Toolset Harvester 
version 3.0.2015.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2006. All rights 
reserved.

 usage:  heat.exe harvestType <harvester arguments> -
out sourceFile.wxs

Supported harvesting types (use "heat.exe <type> -?" 
for more info):
   dir      harvest a directory
   file     harvest a file
   website  harvest an IIS web site

   -nologo  skip printing candle logo information
   -out     specify output file (default: write to 
current directory)
   -sw<N>   suppress warning with specific message ID
   -v       verbose output
   -?       this help information

For more information see: http://wix.sourceforge.net


The various extension command line options are not 
shown. 

Further, the instruction >use "heat.exe <type> -?"< 
does not produce any addition information (just the 
exact same useless message).

This leaves users having to download a source release 
and fish through the source to find commands like:
-gg : generate guids
-ke : keep empty directories
-scom : supress com elements
-sfrag : create fragments
-sreg  : suppress registry
-suid : set unique identifiers
-template:fragment : ?
-template:module : ?
-template:product : ?
