Hello,
I'm using HEAT with the option -ke (keep empty directories) with the
following commands:
@echo off
echo
"##########################################################################"
echo "HEAT!"
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\heat" dir "BGINFO4XW" -cg
SampleGroup -out SampleGroup.wxs -ag -dr BaseDir -srd -ke
echo
"##########################################################################"
echo "CANDLE!"
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixNetFxExtension.dll" SampleFirst.wxs
SampleGroup.wxs
echo
"##########################################################################"
echo "LIGHT!"
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\light" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixNetFxExtension.dll" SampleFirst.wixobj
SampleGroup.wixobj -cultures:en-us -out SampleFirst.msi -b "BGINFO4XW"
But, here in light, I get errors for EACH empty directory, and the msi
is not created.
The error is: \SampleGroup.wxs(338) : error LGHT0230 : The
Component/@Guid attribute's value '*' is not valid for this component
because it does not meet the criteria for having an automatically
generated guid. Components using a Directory as a KeyPath or
containing ODBCDataSource child elements cannot use an automatically
generated guid. Make sure your component doesn't have a Directory as
the KeyPath and move any ODBCDataSource child elements to components
with explicit component guids.
In line 338 I have:
<Component Id="cmpD7EAB448C8FD4A1D7DC06BA49EC41B6E"
Directory="dir0D636418BB9632BDBE27AA13B3B87D9C" Guid="*"
KeyPath="yes">
And the dir0D636418BB9632BDBE27AA13B3B87D9C refers to:
<Fragment><DirectoryRef Id="dir9D86EEBEA4804C429E60401935D6E0D9">
<Directory Id="dir0D636418BB9632BDBE27AA13B3B87D9C" Name="SERVER" />
</DirectoryRef></Fragment>
Where SERVER is one of the EMPTY directories.
Can you help me? Is this a bug?
Thanks a lot for your time.
