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, but it does include the Component and ComponentGroup information: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="SharedThing"> <ComponentRef Id="SharedThing.dll" /> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR_SHAREDTHING"> <Component Id="SharedThing.dll" Guid="{371532AB-D86F-4283-BD69-0583BD67E356}"> <File Id="SharedThing.dll" KeyPath="yes" Source="C:\Projects\_Binaries\SharedThing.dll" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> <Fragment> <CustomAction Id="SetAProperty" Property="AProperty" Value="TheValue" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetAProperty" After="CostFinalize">1</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> </Fragment> </Wix> This includes everything: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="SharedThing"> <ComponentRef Id="SharedThing.dll" /> </ComponentGroup> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR_SHAREDTHING"> <Component Id="SharedThing.dll" Guid="{371532AB-D86F-4283-BD69-0583BD67E356}"> <File Id="SharedThing.dll" KeyPath="yes" Source="C:\Projects\_Binaries\SharedThing.dll" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <CustomAction Id="SetAProperty" Property="AProperty" Value="TheValue" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetAProperty" After="CostFinalize">1</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> </Fragment> </Wix> >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. > >On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 3:33 PM, <eric.hyb...@emc.com> wrote: > >> I defined some components and custom actions and use those custom >> actions in the InstallExecute sequence within a Fragment.
