Ah I finally found it.
It was disabled by default until it was sorted out in the code base.
You can re-enable it in 2 ways:
* Go to the wix targets files in 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x' and set the
'EnableProjectHarvesting' to true
* Add <EnableProjectHarvesting>true</EnableProjectHarvesting> in your
wix ms build project file
Just bear in mind, its probably disabled for a reason so keep that in
mind when you use it.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
