In visual studio under build you need to define a preprocessor variable that points to the location of the root directory. Example: DatabaseDir=..\Folder. Then under build events you need to write a Pre-build Event command line to have heat generate the wxs file every time you make a build. Example: "$(WIX)bin\heat.exe" dir "$(ProjectDir)..\Folder" -dr INSTALLLOCATION -cg NameofyourGroup -gg -sf -srd -var "var.DatabaseDir" -out "$(ProjectDir)..\wxsfolder\NameofyourGroup .wxs".
Hope this is what you were looking for.
