[WiX-users] Lux - Custom action testing framework- Advantages?
Hello, I am reaching out to you as there is very little documentation on Lux available and i am at loss to understand the potential benefits of Lux.** I have just started evaluating Lux in the Wix toolset, in the hope that we could implement a custom action test framework for our installers. We have huge number of installers(100+) and i would like to implement this for these in a phased manner. Most of our custom actions are C++ based. However, the documentation for Lux doesn't make it clear as to how Lux would help improve the *quality of custom actions*. All that Lux does is to verify if the values of PROPERTIES are set as expected. Now, with just this being done, how would the custom action quality improve? Can someone give me specific real world examples as to where Lux could help? I have to evaluate this and brief the management about the pros and cons of Lux. Can you provide me some practical examples where Lux has helped you with your installation development? What are the general scenarios for which you make use of Lux? Any help would be very much appreciated.

[WiX-users] Question about wix fragments and componentgroupref markup
Hello, I am very new to Wix, having transitioned from Install Shield. I did run into an issue(or probably my mistake) with Wix fragments. I used heat.exe to generate 6 different Wix fragments. In each of these Wix fragments, i used the same Id for ComponentGroup. Later on, i wanted to include all of the components in these 6 different Wix fragments in Product.wxs and associate them with the *** same** *feature. However, i hit an issue as follows: error LGHT0091: Duplicate symbol (I do not have the complete message) I am using wix v 3.5. To get around this issue, i changed the ComponentGroup id's in all of the 6 different wix fragments to be unique,after which things worked as expected. Could anyone kindly clarify, if this is the expected behavior? Is there anything i could do to have the same ComponentGroup id being used in different wix fragments and then use them in Product.wxs?
