title: WIX Toolset integrated into VS 2012 beginner problems
body: <p>My company recently forced us to use Wix Toolset (v.4.0.12), because we upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 which unfortunately no longer contains installer projects.</p>
  
  <p>My problems are the following. I have a big solution with many projects which all in all result in an exe file, and several dlls.</p>
  
  <p>I then create a Wix setup project in the solution, and add a reference to the project that produces the exe file. In the properties of that project reference I set <code>Harvest: true</code> and <code>Project Output Groups: Binaries</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I would expect a build of my WiX project to harvest the dependencies from the referenced project, so that I do not need to manually add the references, as that would give me more maintenance.</p>
  
  <p>Moreover, if I run <code>heat.exe</code> on the referenced project file, I only get the exe output of the file, and not the dlls which the project depends on.</p>
  
  <p>I assume that the above is quite standard, and wix tools should be able to gather that information for me. And I really wonder why after an extensive search on the net, cannot find anyone with similar issues.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone knows why the above, please try to send me a basic tutorial of how to do stuff with WiX. It seems impossible for me find an appropriate one.</p>
