Ok. So I have removed the property with the file search. Now it looks like:
<Component Id="A">
<File Id="MainEXE" name="Main.exe" Source="$(var.BINDIR)/Main.exe"/>
....
</component>
...
<Component Id="B">
...
<ProgId Id='extfile' Description='Ext file'>
<Extension Id='ext' ContentType='application/ext'>
<Verb Id='open' Command='Open' TargetFile='[MainEXE]' Argument='"%1"' />
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
Produces
"Unresolved reference to 'File:[MainEXE]' in section ...
If I then change it to TargetFile='[#MainEXE]', I get the same error.
If I change it to TargetProperty='[#MainEXE]', I get:
ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry
'reg1099EB9499BDFA8BA8EBB7D10C985FE0' of the Registry table belongs to
component 'B'. However, the formatted string in column 'Value' references file
'MainEXE' which belongs to component 'A'. Components belong to different
features (LGHT0204)
