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

[Blair Murri]

With XSLT you can add any namespace you need right from the XSLT file itself.

Candle will later still need the extension, but that can be done as per the documentation, without any special considerations.

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
