Hi Carter, I cannot change the directory structure to put data in the app folder. I want it in the location C:\Energy Solutions\PipelineOptimizer only. Is there anyway that i can while generating the source file for data directory using heat (trunkdata.wxs) all the components inside the trunkdata.wxs to have the attribute permanent = yes. This would have been the simplest of solutions. Please let me know if you have any pointers on the same.
