In general, it would be better to use the <HeatDirectory /> element. For
example:
<EnableProjectHarvesting>True</EnableProjectHarvesting>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<HeatDirectory ToolPath="$(WIX)bin\"
Directory="..\Folder"
PreprocessorVariable="var.DatabaseDir"
OutputFile="$(ProjectDir)..\wxsfolder\NameofyourGroup .wxs "
GenerateGuidsNow="true"
ComponentGroupName="NameofyourGroup"
DirectoryRefId="INSTALLLOCATION"
SuppressRootDirectory="true" />
</Target>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] add files with heat
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.
