Yes. You need to add a reference to something that causes the fragment containing the custom action to be linked in. For example, the firewall compiler extension has the following: this.Core.CreateWixSimpleReferenceRow(sourceLineNumbers, CustomAction, WixSchedFirewallExceptionsInstall); this.Core.CreateWixSimpleReferenceRow(sourceLineNumbers, CustomAction, WixSchedFirewallExceptionsUninstall); The linker sees a reference to the custom action and uses the .wixlib as a source for it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Is your compiler extension adding a reference to the CustomAction/@Id? Not knowingly...

Re: [WiX-users] BUG: Group cannot be added to component.
Yeah I can see that! Unfortunately creage group functionality is just what I need at the moment. I've used the UtilExtension as a basis for writing my own version of Group called GroupEx that allows for creating groups in the same way as creating users - the code is almost a carbon copy which makes me wonder why WiX didn't support creating groups straight out of the box!? Now banging my head against the wall - for some reason my embedded wixlib is not being attached to the msi file being compiled even though my extension dll is being used (ie: I've got a GroupEx table in my MSI as expected but the custom action fragments are missing - weird.
