Re: [WiX-users] Use of ComponentGroup and Duplicate symbol 'WixComponentGroup:xxx' found.
Thanks very much for the help everyone, Rob you were right I think that something was being referenced twice. I'm not sure if I managed to do it (not sure if you can when VS is calling the WiX libs for you?) or if it was VS playing funny buggers. Either way, I de-referenced the project and closed VS and then re-added (with possibly some other mucking around in between) but I think this is what fixed it.

From: Nic Barden [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 2008-10-15 15:00 Hi Eitan, I am not explicitly referencing it in the wxs file, I simply have a project reference to the wixlib file that the project that contains the fragment generates. This is my understanding of how you should do this, and it will automatically get pulled in. Is that correct?

Re: [WiX-users] Use of ComponentGroup and Duplicate symbol 'WixComponentGroup:xxx' found.
To be explicit, it appears that you are somehow including your Fragments code twice. Maybe you lit the Fragment.wxs into a .wixlib then added both the .wixlib and the Fragment.wxs to the link line? That would create the problem.

ComponentRef Id= component2 / DirectoryRef Id= APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY ComponentGroupRef Id= Project1Files / To be explicit, it appears that you are somehow including your Fragments code twice. Maybe you lit the Fragment.wxs into a .wixlib then added both the .wixlib and the Fragment.wxs to the link line? That would create the problem. In many places there appear to be spaces inside the Id attributes - could this be confusing things?
