I see what you mean, especially if youre used to C# references in VS. The oddness allows you to have multiple fragments in a wixlib and you might not necessarily want to pull in all the fragments into your project. It reduces bloat and avoids the need for lots of little wixlibs.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixLibrary project WixUI declarations Thanks Peter. I am using Wix through its Visual Studio integration. I'd added the library as a reference to the main setup project. I've now added an explicit property to the library which can be referenced: <Property Id="WixCommon" Value="WixCommon" /> Which is referenced from the main project and this now works. But it seems a bit odd. I'd expect linking to the library would have indicated I wanted the fragment included.
