What I was hoping was to simplify this sort of structure as I always end
up adding a Component and forgetting the ComponentRef:
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component>
<File Source="File1.dll" />
</Component>
<Component>
<File Source="File2.dll" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<ComponentGroup Id="MyFiles">
<ComponentRef Id="File1.dll" />
<ComponentRef Id="File2.dll" />
</ComponentGroup>
</Fragment>
Then is my main file
<Feature Id="DefaultFeature" Level="1"
ConfigurableDirectory="TARGETDIR">
<ComponentGroupRef Id=" MyFiles " />
</Feature>
In WiX 2 there was a FragmentRef and that could be used to pull in a
feature. I'm sure this is really obvious but I missing something.

Personally, I find the Component/@Directory more useful to put my
Components in a Feature instead.
