Hi, Just to add, I have tried setting one of components manually as permanent=yes in the wxs file of the data directory(trunkdata.wxs, i have created this by heat). This seems to leave the folder structure and component that i marked a permanent. Is there a way in heat that i can assign the attribute permanent=yes to all the components generated?
