WiX always links in fragments as a whole, so the solution is to use multiple fragments: one for each component, then one for each component group you want to expose. Then use ComponentGroupRef in your product and WiX will link in the appropriate fragment and then the fragments that the ComponentGroup refers to via ComponentRef. You can also build up component groups with other component groups using ComponentGroupRef. > Everything that I tried resulted in a > duplicate directory reference or Orphaned components. Directories can also go into their own fragments and be referenced via DirectoryRef. Check out how the WiX setup is authored in the sources.zip file: The product defines top-level directories and fragments use DirectoryRef to create a parent directory with child Directory elements to create subdirectories. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
