HeatFile task does not support suid

HeatFile task does not support -suid.

WixTasks\heatfile.cs protected override string GenerateResponseFileCommands() { WixCommandLineBuilder commandLineBuilder = new WixCommandLineBuilder();

        commandLineBuilder.AppendSwitch(this.OperationName);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendSwitch(this.File);

        commandLineBuilder.AppendSwitchIfNotNull("-cg ", this.componentGroupName);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendSwitchIfNotNull("-dr ", this.directoryRefId);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendIfTrue("-scom", this.SuppressCom);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendIfTrue("-srd", this.suppressRootDirectory);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendIfTrue("-sreg", this.SuppressRegistry);
        commandLineBuilder.AppendSwitchIfNotNull("-template:", this.Template);

I don't understand. Isn't it something trivial to add? Add a new variable bool SuppressUniqueId;

add one line of code commandLineBuilder.AppendIfTrue("-suid", this.SuppressUniqueId);

and change the xsd?

Yes, and it would reset the test pass going on this month so we wouldn't ship on time next month. We'll fix it in the next release.

Not something we'd take for WiX v.30 right now. Maybe v3.5.

This is already implemented - you don't see it in HeatFile because it's in a parent class of HeatFile, HeatTask (see HeatTask.cs).

The property you want to set to true is called "SuppressUniqueIds".
