Either take it out of the fragment or use a DirectoryRef.
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="dir6A68E13632B544EDA8F393F83B23F439" Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="dir03FB174C3B8F4214AF6A130B8EAA7BA1" Name="Crypto">
<Directory Id="dirE956646E44EE4A23B07BD0A84D969F55" Name="RSA">
<Directory Id="dir9210B4F4F4A24357A3954AFC771C9E28"
Name="MachineKeys">
<Component Id="MachineKeysFolderPermissions"
Guid="352963FCB3794D8E9B9BE725929B5C47">
<CreateFolder>
<util:PermissionEx User="NETWORK SERVICE"
GenericAll="yes" ChangePermission="yes" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
I usually leave my directory structure in the main wxs and wrap the component
in a directoryRef in the fragment.
It all depends on why you are using a fragment really.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Help with giving permissions to folder
I knew there was something I was probably missing. I've added the
componentRef, but the build fails with the following error:
The primary key 'TARGETDIR' is duplicated in table 'Directory'. Please
remove one of the entries or rename a part of the primary key to avoid the
collision.
It is true that I already have a TARGETDIR for the install within my
Product.wxs, but if I don't add a TARGETDIR and SourceDir to the Fragment
that contains the folder I want to set the ACL on, it fails to build.
How can I get this to work? I've tried to vary the values for TARGETDIR and
name, but I always receive an error stating that the root directory is not
valid or that the TARGETDIR directory has an illegal DefaultDir value.
In my Fragment file, if I don't include TARGETDIR and Name="SourceDir" I get
an error stating that "AppDataFolder" is not a valid root directory.
