I have an installer project made in WiX 3.x and I would like to convert it to WiX 4. It harvests a number of projects in a solution. As specified in the manual (https://wixtoolset.org/docs/reference/heat/) I enabled the harvesting and added some HarvestProject elements, like:
<HarvestProject Include="..\..\Source\MyProject.csproj" ProjectOutputGroups="Binaries;"/>
It harvests projects and generates a number of fragments, having components like:
<Component Id="MyProject.exe" Guid="*">
Now I would like to have guids explicitly generated during harvesting because on later stages auto generating guids gives me some issues. Following Wix 4 manuals it should be controlled by HarvestFileAutogenerateGuids and HarvestProjectsGenerateGuidsNow being set to true or false. Like:
<HarvestProject Include="..\..\Source\MyProject.csproj" ProjectOutputGroups="Binaries;" HarvestProjectsGenerateGuidsNow="true"/>
But playing with all possible combinations of these 2 properties I always get the same wxs file generated with Guid="*" Looks like these properties are completely ignored.
Is there a way to generate explicit guids during harvesting in WiX 4? I'm new to WiX 4 so I may be missing something.
