I use the following command to auto create list of files for setup. heat.exe dir C:\TEMP\Release\ -var var.DropPathRS -dr Test -gg -g1 -ke -cg ComponentGroupName -nologo -srd -sfrag -template fragment -out C:\TEMP\Out.wxs
It will create file like(see below). Then I just build project. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="Test"> <Component Id="cmpB7B..." Guid="..."> <File Id="fil16..." KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.DropPath)\Filename1.ext" /> </Component> <Component Id="cmpD1F..." Guid="..."> <File Id="fil00..." KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.DropPath)\Filename2.ext" /> </Component>.......... -----Original Message----- From: Kristoffer Danielsson [mailto:kristoffer.daniels...@live.se] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 6:47 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component Heat is described here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php heat dir folder -cg SampleGroup -out SampleGroup.wxs > From: cameron.ker...@philips.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:43:52 +0100 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component > > Yes, I understand that you can put multiple files in a component, but that means I have to write the Source for each of the files, and spell out each file xml element. I basically just want to set the Source to a directory and include all files under that directory.

To build my WIX project, during my build process I just build my WIX installer solution and it creates the setup package. So besides manually adding all these files (~50) to my component by hand, I don't understand how to accomplish this. All the tutorials just use one file in there examples. No one uses adding files from a source directory. > > > > Thanks! > > > > ________________________________ > > The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
