Hi Shivit, I ran into the same problem. My workaround is to not use -sfrag and hand-edit the output .wxs to change the top-level Directory tag to a DirectoryRef tag and set the id to INSTALLDIR.
In the main .wxs I have <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" ...> inside a <Directory Id="TARGETDIR">. This creates the directory structure in the main .wxs and then adds to it in the .wxs generated by heat.exe. I'm not sure what the correct WIX-ish fix to the underlying problem is, but as it is right now heat.exe is difficult to use in an automated build process. I found a thread somewhere describing how someone is using xslt translations to automate fixing the output of heat.exe, but this is a bit beyond my level of XML kung-fu at the moment. cheers, -Mark On 3-Mar-08, at 1:31 AM, shivit wrote: > > Hi > I am using the heat tool to generate the directory structure. > heat.exe dir -gg -template:fragment -sfrag "C:\FolderName" -out > FolderName.wxs > > In FolderName.wxs, it groups all the ComponentRef elements under > <ComponentGroup Id="ComponentGroup1"> > > In my main program, I am having > <Feature Id ="MyFeature" Title="Feature" Level="1"> > <ComponentGroupRef Id="ComponentGroup1" Primary="yes" /> > </Feature> > > But I am encountering error CNDL0205.
