The project that we are building is a MVC 4 Web Application with config transforms.
The thing that I want is that the standard Microsoft Web Application web.config transforms is fired when I build the wix project just like when you use the standard publish in visual Studio.
If you use the standard publish method, the web.config has the transform changes done as the result. That is also what I want to do.

So the msi should contain the transformed web.config in the package.

Hi Ralph,

I am not sure that it is possible to implement in WiX. Please try to use the XslTransformation msbuild task that will transform the web.config file before the setup is built.

Hmmm I can't get this to work. Is the automatically harvest property the cause of this? this tutorial is not that difficult but I can't get it to work...

Can you otherwise tell me how to exclude the web.config from the WIX installer? So not the .config files but the whole file web.config.

Thanks

Hi Ralph,

The harvest property doesn't transform anything. It just run Heat.exe. Please open the source code of the wixproj file in Visual Studio or Notepad. You will see how we use the XslTransformation task to transform output files of the Heat.exe tool.
To exclude the web.config file from the Content Project Output you need to set the 'Build Action' property of the Web.config file to 'None'.
