Package Elements are children of Product Elements (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_package.htm). That's what the error is essentially saying. You've tried to put a Package Element under the WiX element.
You may want to get a basic knowledge of WiX before you try building entire installers using the command line tools only as it's not only pretty difficult to do it that way but can be incredibly dangerous.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I: Generate a Complete Installer usingCommand-Line Tools Top of the Morning to you, I'm trying to generate a complete Installer using the command-line tools. I have the directory structure. I want two choices, Custom & Complete.
