See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/votive_project_templates.htm A wixlib is a wix library. Consider it wix's form of a staticly linked library. If you don't need to share your MSM externally you could just compile a wixlib of fragments instead, add a reference to the wixlib in all of your products that need the registry keys, then add a componentref to the components in the wixlib that contain the keys you need to reuse. FWIW I don't really understand why you wouldn't include the file in the MSM. -Eric
