Heat cannot currently harvest EXE servers. I ended up writing a custom Heat
extension, since we have a lot of legacy COM objects, some of which have
special dependencies, such as ATL.DLL. We also have a postprocessor step to
fix the component GUID's to be consistent from build to build (among other
things). But I digress ..
Maybe the easiest thing is to run heat on the .reg file your developer
provided, which will generate a wxs fragment containing Wix-compatible
registry code. You will probably want to fix the file references to use
SourceDir instead of absolute paths.
For example -
<File Id="filEB85B5D03761727E10A7DACBA187DAC3" KeyPath="yes"
Source="SourceDir\bin\server.exe">
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{ADDAA70E-D53A-11D3-B61A-0010A4F353A8}\ToolboxBitmap32"
Value="[!filEB85B5D03761727E10A7DACBA187DAC3], 101" Type="string"
Action="write" />
