Hi, I am trying to wrap my <Fragment> contents inside a <ComponentGroup> like this forum post says:
http://n2.nabble.com/Multiple-Wxs-Merge-in-Visual-Studio--td701023.html#a701 024 I am still unsure of the best design for this, but I would ideally like the main installer to be the only place where the APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY is specified. So I have one wxs file with a fragment like this: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="Project1Files" > <ComponentRef Id="component1" /> <ComponentRef Id=" component2" /> </ComponentGroup> <DirectoryRef Id=" APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY "> <Component Id="component1" Guid="F9971885-8150-476C-86AE-EC693A59C8DF" DiskId="1"> ... </Component> ... </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> </Wix> Then I have the main wxs file like this: <Product> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="MyCompany"> <Directory Id="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY" Name="MyApplication" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="My Application" Level="1" ConfigurableDirectory=" APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY "> <ComponentGroupRef Id=" Project1Files " /> </Feature> </Product> This results in a compilation error: "Duplicate symbol 'WixComponentGroup:Project1Files' found." What is the issue here - have they been included due to both the DirectoryRef and also the Feature? I am not sure how to bundle the Components into the ComponentGroup without including them in a directory, as they expect a directory to be set. Also, should the <Directory Id="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY" Name="MyApplication" /> definition contain anything if all the contents have already been added via the Fragments?
