heat.exe 1600 components per feature limit

I've used WIX's heat.exe and got 2100 components and got a warning 开发者_运维百科that Windows Installer is constrained to have maximum of 1600 components per feature. I understand that I might stick many files into one component and thus reduce the number of components, but is there another way of using heat.exe that won't produce lots of components?

This is a Windows Installer limitation (see Remarks area). The ICE47 description contains more info and a proposition to work this around. As you can see, the warning says:

This could cause problems on Win9X systems.

Based on my own experience, if you target higher OS versions, you can safely ignore this error. A kind of proof to this statement.
