The basic approach is to define each shortcut in a separate component, to set a

I wrote a custom action dll in C++ & added to .cub file that I am using in

Hello,
We're building a WiX installer to replace an old one built with
InstallShield; the original is authored as per-user, but we think that
per-machine is more appropriate. Our understanding is that you can't
perform an upgrade when the InstallScope is different, so we tried just

The Upgrade table/RemoveExistingProducts action cannot cross scopes. You
will have to use a bootstrapper to remove the old per-user installation.

I defined some components and custom actions and use those custom
actions in the InstallExecute sequence within a Fragment. When I create
a wixlib (with lit.exe) from that Fragment and include the .wixlib with
my primary msi light command line, I get the components, but not the

Can you share out an example of how the elements are organized in Fragments?
Most likely you're just needing a reference that isn't in place.

I'm not sure if this is as-designed or not, but it turns out the problem
was in having multiple fragments in the wixlib source, and no reference
between the fragments.
This doesn't include the CustomAction or InstallExecuteSequence updates,

Yes, that's by design. You can add references and keep the fragments

MsiProcessMessage works only if the custom action is run through msiexec or
