Your last approach is correct. In general, you: Place resources in a fragment in a separate file. Add the file to the project. Reference resources from your main wxs file (or any wxs file that it already references) using an xxxRef. When candle runs, it compiles the wxs file into a wixobj because

Burn only fails back to the MBA prerequisite BA if it can't create the AppDomain it needs. Look at BootstrapperApplicationCreate in src\ext\BalExtension\mba\host\host.cpp. Introducing additional dependencies for a BA seems wrong to me. If you are using this custom dependency to modify machine
