First of all what is the best resource for getting help with advanced WiX 
topics? A book or mailing list will do. I have been mostly using stackoverflow.

And now for my question. I have an installer with features A, B (optional) and 
C (optional).

Feature A is an executable and B and C are DLLs that add support to the 
executable for additional filetypes.

If I install B, I would like to associate the appropriate filetype to the exec 
installed in A.

Right now I am working off the solution here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4787085/wix-plugin-installer-needs-to-reference-primary-installation

But there are several complications. When you search through a component for a 
file, does it indicate if it is installed? And if it does, does it have to be 
installed in a previous run of the installer?

Or should I have it search the filesystem to see if the exec is installed. And 
then does order of installation matter?
