I know that I had trouble with Component referenceing because you can't reference a single component from multiple features... at least, I couldn't get it to work...

[DerekC] You should absolutely be able to reference a single component from multiple features using multiple ComponentRef elements under each feature.  In WiX 3.0, it's also possible to create groups of components to be included under a feature by using the ComponentGroup element (this brings you extremely close to what you'd get with a merge module).

[Shmarya] I know that I had difficulty with this... kept getting errors about components being referenced from more than one feature... perhaps it was a bug which is now fixed?
 

[RobMen] What was the error message exactly?  My guess is that you needed to mark one of the ComponentRef elements as Primary=”yes” so that all the advertised goo gets associated with the correct Feature.
