Hi Rob
Regarding the harvester work, I know that you will look at this at 4.0,
however I have not made any interface-breaking changes, just internal
cleanups (on the WixVSExtension project). The behavior should stay the same
except for a bug or two that I've fixed. I'm also looking into generating
output for a web application by having the "bin" folder where all the
binary files are placed.
I do want to ask a question going forward. If I wanted to specify which
files the harvester should filter out (not include in the generated file)
for technical reasons (will explain) what would be a good place to do so?
I have encountered that if you want to create a Windows NT Service
installation and I am using the harvester to locate and generate the
relevant files for the installation, it will include the EXE file, but I
will need to specify the EXE file in a component used to install the EXE as
a service. This will cause a WiX compiler error of having duplicate files
specified. So I will have to let the harvester ignore that EXE file.
A place that I thought would work is for the harvester to look in the
project file itself for files that should be ignored by the harvester.
Wouldn't you agree?
Let me know what your thoughts are.
Regards,
Dandre
