Hey Daniel, This is not a WIX feature, so what you are trying to do is not how it is intended to be used. Please look at the documenation on the Media Table ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369801.aspx) which explains the correct use.
If I am understanding the use correctly, it is seldom used.
