Jeremy,
When I run heat against a directory structure that contains two files with
the same name (in separate directories), it automatically adds to the
File/@Id wrapped Component/@Id with a "_1", "_2", etc. suffix.

My reason is not to harvest into a single output file, but to make the
harvester aware of both of all the file and directory names it is
harvesting at one, so that (for instance) if I have two "web.config"
files in the two different web applications, their Ids do not collide.
Since Heat seems to use the filename as the File/@Id attribute, this
would be a problem if I ran it twice on two separate webapp directory
structures.
Anyway, my installer is not really required to support minor upgrades or
patches, so this is academic for me, I'm just trying to get a better
sense of what's going on under the covers. Since the VS team has
committed to integrating Wix into VS10, any chance they will be adding
resources to work on things like this?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Why do you want to harvest to separate directory structures into one
output file? Use smaller files (Fragments), make your setup code
manageable.
Even if there is a good reason (you probably have one), as I noted
before: there is no owner for heat today. It hasn't advanced since
Derek put the initial 3 months of dev effort into it. Lots of bugs and
feature requests sit idle against heat.

That's true if you can get away with running heat only once. Can heat
be told to harvest two separate directory structures into one output
file?

Heat should already be generating unique (though *not *stable) IDs when
there are multiple files with the same name in different directories.
