I have a setup project in which I have file called ProjectManifest.wxs which contains a Fragment declaring a PackageGroup for my MsiPackage and also sets up some registry searches for some prerequisites for my msi.
I also have a bootstrapper project that uses this ProjectManifest.wxs file so that it can simply use the PackageGroupRef in its chain element. I have made this separation so that the same msi (and it's prerequisites) can be consumed by another bundle which bundles a suite of related applications (also it keeps the mark-up in my bootstrapper clean). The problem I have is that when I Add-Existing Item to my bootstrapper project and point it at the ProjectManifest.wxs file it takes a copy of that file and places it in the bootstrapper project folder. This is causing me to have multiple copies of the same file and consequently is a source revision control nightmare. Is there any way to reference an existing file from a bootstrapper project without it taking a 'local' copy? I'm using WiX v3.6 and Visual Studio 2010.
