"%WIX%\bin\heat.exe" should work. The quotes are important as there maybe spaces in the path. The WIX environment variable should be defined as pointing to the WIX install location. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Premier Tech, Inc.)

It is quite similar to heat, but can be used within the WiXproj build. I also have to generate class and registry values for several files. Here, I'm would like to call "heat file $inputFile -out $outputFile -sfrag". The next step would be to extract the resulting Class and RegistryValue element from $outputFile. How can I determine where to find heat.exe? Simply start a process it and hope Windows will find the executable? Or is there a more robust way?
