The usual thing to do here is generate wix file with everything in componentgroup , then include a componentgroupref in a feature in your main wxs file.
You can use Orca or Insted to open an msi file to see if contains what you want.

I want to create a .msi file from my project (with lots of files and folders), so I use HEAT. Heat works as exepcted and a new file is created (SampleGroup.wxs). Then I try to "compile all" : "C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle" SampleFirst.wxs SampleGroup.wxs Until here all is ok, but the installed folder is EMPTY. Why WIX doesn't include my source files from SampleGroup.wxs? What I'm doing wrong? I need to add something in the main file SampleFirst.wxs? Where and what? Thanks a lot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
