Are heat transforms still working in WIX V4?

[eykh]

Hi,

did you notice any problems when using transforms with WIX V4?

For me it seems, that something has changed. The XSLT I used in V3 doesn't work anymore. I extracted the heat call including the arguments from the detailed build output and fooled around on the command line:

• when I add a syntax error, I get 'xsl:key_' cannot be a child of the 'xsl:stylesheet' element. That's fine, because I know it reads the correct file!
• I used an XSLT found here, that just strips all .exe and .pdb files and it also does not work anymore!

There is no message at all. But the generated file still has those components.

Did anything change in the generated .wxs, that I overlook? Did I miss any documentation? Or is this a bug?

Can anyone confirm, that XSLT transforms with heat in WIX V4.0.0 are still working?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, I noticed the Wix namespace in the generated wxs has changed from
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> to
<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs">.

And yes, the transformation is working.

I will update the XSL accordingly.
