[wix-users] How to add wix extension when harvesting with HeatDirectory

[Tigran Galoyan]

Hi Bob,

I thought that way I could add the xmlns namespace for the extension I need
into my generated wxs file, since later with XSL transform I add firewall
exceptions to my wxs for some harvested components. I know that I can avoid
all this headache if we go with WEP by Firegiant, however, it's not an
option at this time, so I have to use basic heat.exe and use XSLT for
further massaging the generated wxs files.

Thanks,
Tigran
