You would need to include a full path to the source file. The deployment layout does not have to match the source layout. I normally use fully qualified paths via a variable for the relative root, and then a relative path from there to the source file.
You could try include\foo.h as the source file. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Sustrik [mailto:sust...@250bpm.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 11:52 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Specifying source subdirectory Hi, My source tree has a file in "include" subdirectory. I want to install it to "include" subdirectory on the target box. I do the following: <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foo'> <Directory Id='include' Name='include'> <Component Id='core_include' Guid='...'> <File Id='foo.h' Name='foo.h' DiskId='1' Source='foo.h'/> Light.exe is looking for the foo.h in the main directory (where light.exe is run from) rather than in "include" subdirectory: C:\Users\me\libxs\foo.wxs(98) : error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file 'foo.h'. Any ideas?
