As I understand it, you basically add references in your installer projects for two reasons: 1. You create a reference to another project - the project you wish to install. By creating a reference, you ensure the project is build, when the installer project is build and you get access to some preprocessor variables. 2. You have WiX extension dlls that somehow add to the functionality of wix. You cannot add a reference to a regular dll. Dlls that should be included in the installation should be included by the use of <File> tags.
