Heat /? does not show all options #893

Closed wixbot closed 8 years ago

wixbot commented 18 years ago

The usage message for heat is incorrect. Just a plain "heat /?" only shows: Microsoft (R) Windows Installer XML Toolset Harvester version 3.0.2015.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2006. All rights reserved.

usage: heat.exe harvestType - out sourceFile.wxs

Supported harvesting types (use "heat.exe -?" for more info): dir harvest a directory file harvest a file website harvest an IIS web site

-nologo skip printing candle logo information -out specify output file (default: write to current directory) -sw suppress warning with specific message ID -v verbose output -? this help information

For more information see: http://wix.sourceforge.net

The various extension command line options are not shown.

Further, the instruction >use "heat.exe -?"< does not produce any addition information (just the exact same useless message).

This leaves users having to download a source release and fish through the source to find commands like: -gg : generate guids -ke : keep empty directories -scom : supress com elements -sfrag : create fragments -sreg : suppress registry -suid : set unique identifiers -template:fragment : ? -template:module : ? -template:product : ?
