[wix-users] heat.exe System.OutOfMemoryException help

[Shintaro Takechi]

Since this command is running in visual studio pre-build event, I am not
even at the point to make separate msi packages.
May be I will robocopy each subdirectories in separate location of local
drive and output them in different wxs.
I guess my next step is to research how to use robocopy well?

This command line call to heat is just copied from what HeatDirectory
generated for me.
The reason I am using command line version over HeatDirectory is because I
had to insert robocopy to copy files in my local drive.
