Issue with Heatwave Buildtools namespace

[miguelmartins1987]

I'm trying to harvest a certain folder via the FireGiant.HeatWave.BuildTools.wixext extension. Something like this:

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs" xmlns:hbt="http://www.firegiant.com/schemas/v4/wxs/heatwave/buildtools">
	<Package Name="..." Manufacturer="..." Version="1.0.0.0" UpgradeCode="...">
		<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="!(loc.DowngradeError)" />
		<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />
		<hbt:HarvestFolder Source="$(var.myProject.TargetDir)"/>
(...)

I've noticed, however... The namespace I'm referring to as xmlns:hbt... Its URL seems to be unavailable (i.e. accessing http://www.firegiant.com/schemas/v4/wxs/heatwave/buildtools seems to yield a 404 page).

Does this mean the extension is currently unusable? And if so, is there a workaround for harvesting an entire folder?

No. XML namespaces are just names. They don't have to be a URL (although they often are) and the URL does not have to resolve to a web page (although sometimes it does).

Note: the HarvestFolder element is (currently) expected to be under a Component element. See the Advanced Harvesting documentation for more details.
