I'm guessing it's probably because there's no reference to the Fragment so it's not including it. Try adding a ComponentGroupRef for FooFiles under your FOO Directory or something else which links the Fragment to your Module Element. That should sort it out.

Subject: [WiX-users] Merge Module not identifying my fragment files Hello there! I'm trying to create a simple merge module, where I define my components in a separate .wxs file as a fragment. My directory structure is as follows: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Foo Ltd."> <Directory Id="FOO" Name="Foo"/> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> My .wxs (<Fragment>) file has a bunch of components, sitting under the DirectoryRef tag with Id="FOO" They are also added in a component group called "FooFiles" When I build the project, light gives me a warning saying that the merge module cabinet is empty. Adding the components directly under the <<Directory Id="FOO" ...> tag works like a charm. Is there something I'm missing out here? Doing this in a standalone installer works fine!
