Bugs

If this issue is a bug:

Which version of WiX are you building with? 0.9.10.21458 - Visual Studio 2017 Extension
Which version of Visual Studio are you building with (if any)? VS2017, 15.0.26228.
Which version of .NET are you building with? 4.5
Describe the problem and the steps to reproduce it. heat.exe parameter -srd does not exclude root directory. Output .wxs file is same with and without -srd.
Describe the behavior you expected and how it differed from the actual behavior. It suppress harvesting the root directory in VS 2013 extension, but in VS 2017 does not.

Which version of the WiX build tools (not the VS extension)?

Djutza commented 7 years ago

I checked with both v3.10.3.3007 and 3.11.0.1507. In VS2013 works with both versions, in VS2017 does not.

Can you provide more details about how you are calling heat.exe in VS2013 that works and how it does not work in VS2017? The VS integration shouldn't change heat.exe behavior so it isn't at all clear at this time what you've done.

Djutza commented 7 years ago

It is not clear to me either. I open project in VS2013, build - it is ok. Close VS2013, open same project in VS2017, build fails. For example -gg option works just fine. Here is how it is called: "call "%25WIX%25bin\heat.exe" dir "$(SolutionDir)ServiceModel\SelfHosting\SelfHosting.Implementation\bin\$(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)" -dr APPLICATIONFOLDER -cg ServiceModel.SelfHostingGroup -gg -scom -sreg -sfrag –srd -var "var.ServiceModel.SelfHosting.Implementation.TargetDir" -out "$(ProjectDir)SelfHosting.wxs" -t "$(SolutionDir)..\scripts\wix\Services.xslt""

Can you double-check the command line that –srd has a dash and not a hyphen?

Djutza commented 7 years ago

Thanks. That hyphen is there for years.
