Thanks Carter foe all the inputs. I have solved this issue by applying
xslt transform to the heat ouput by adding the below to my xslt file:
<xsl:template match="wix:Component">
<xsl:copy>
<!-- add attribute -->
<xsl:attribute name="Permanent">yes</xsl:attribute>
<!-- copy component as is -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Regards,
SuvraJyoti
