I went back and looked at the source and your right, I didn't have Component_
but I did have Component.
Also if you look in my C# code I have a function that queries component and
does:
if (session.Components[component].RequestState == InstallState.Local)
{
//populate list of reports to be installed
}
Then later I use the list to do the actual processing. So while I didn't
follow the letter of the pattern, the intent was followed.
Besides, this was just a prototype which is intended to be refactored as a
proper WiX extension.
Either way I was able to transition the WXS files to a DBA / Report write and
he successfully implemented all of the reports. I have to give WiX credit
there for that hand off.
