Ryan,
Where do you have a file with @Id of "FileId" defined? I register an
extension as shown:
<Component Id="ExeFile" Guid="...">
<File Id="FileId" Source=" MyApp.exe" />
<ProgId Advertise="no" Id="MyApp.MyExt.1" Icon="FileId" IconIndex="1"
Description="MyApp File" >
<Extension Id="myext" ContentType="application/xml">
<Verb Id="open" TargetFile="FileId" Argument=""%1"" />
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
Notice that I have the file and the extension both in the same
component. Perhaps this isn't required, but it makes sense to me since
they must go together for my application, but perhaps other apps want
the extension to be optional.
Notice that both ProgId/@Icon and Verb/@TargetFile refer to File/@Id,
which WiX 3.0 will convert to "[#FileId]" in the MSI file, which will be
the full installed filepath in the registry after installation.
[#FileId] is nearly equivalent to [!FileId], except the latter uses
short filenames. Notice that WiX includes the double-quotes around the
[#FileId] to avoid problems with spaces in the path.
There are some warnings in the MSI documentation about [#FileId] only
being resolved if the component installing the file has already been
installed, so perhaps that has something to do with your problem.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your answer.
After I remove the Sequence attribute, I still get errors.
<Component Id="myfile"
Guid="8E4C47A3-4CDB-4c2c-A783-0B21747DFC3C">
<ProgId Id="myfileid">
<Extension Id="my" ContentType="application/text">
<Verb Id="open" Command="open"
TargetFile="FileId" Argument=""%1"" />
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'File:FileId'
Wixcop changed my original Target = "[!FileId]" to TargetFile="FileId".
So in wix 2, it works if we specify:
<Component Id="myfile"
Guid="8E4C47A3-4CDB-4c2c-A783-0B21747DFC3C">
<ProgId Id="myfileid">
<Extension Id="my" ContentType="application/text">
<Verb Id="open" Command="open"
Target="[!FileId]" Argument=""%1"" />
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
I think our orginal intention is just to register a file type for an
editor of our Visual Studio package. So it seems like there is no
something about "the target file to be executed for the verb".
