Hi, Peter, Thank you!
Your answer is - It's not supported directly. You'll need to either extract the files first or write a heat extension. Can I ask how to write a heat extension? What is that meaning? Can you give me some guide or a sample?

Subject: [WiX-users] How to use 'Heat' to generate script (.wxs file) and harvest files from CAB files directly? Thanks in advance! Hi, Currently, I know I can use Heat to generate a .wxs file based on a folder with a lot of files in it. For e.g. I use following command line to generate My_Activex_P001.wxs which has all information for each file in c:\files\. heat dir c:\files\ -gg -o My_Activex_P001.wxs -template product -cg ActiveXComponents What I want to do now is - If there are couple of CAB files in c:\files\, can I still use Heat to harvest the files in CAB files directly and generate the .wxs file? If yes, how to do that? Thanks a lot! Best Regards & Thank you!
