WIX copying files harvested by heat, but does not create cab file

Question

Fairly new to Wix. I have a working msi, but instead of a cab file next to the msi file, I am just getting a folder. I have spent several days trying to figure out why it is not putting the files in a cab file but I am completely at a loss.

The msi file performs exactly as I expect, but distributing the msi alongside a folder is less desirable than just the msi.
