Thanks for looking at this... Yes, Notepad.exe and Readme.txt are there. I included the wrong example but in this case, I'm not getting fragment.txt either.
For the directory example, I have a folder called FOLDER and it has file called abc.txt. The wxs, SampleHarvest.wxs, for the FOLDER: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> <Directory Id="dirB97A511407DDB079A8785EE4294749AC" Name="FOLDER" /> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="SampleGroup"> <Component Id="cmp27D5C2CCE634D6324850B2916AD3E0A4" Directory="dirB97A511407DDB079A8785EE4294749AC" Guid="F9168C5E-CEB2-4faa-B6BF-329BF39FA1E5"> <File Id="filDBDB145A149F9EC0F45CB32878FF5A2B" KeyPath="yes" Source="FOLDER\abc.txt" /> </Component> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> And the bat script: "c:\program files (x86)\wix toolset v3.8\bin\candle" SampleHarvest.wxs example.wxs "c:\program files (x86)\wix toolset v3.8\bin\light" -out ICD SampleHarvest.wixobj example.wixobj With this, I do not get the FOLDER and abc.txt in the installed directory along with Notepad.exe and Readme.txt.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] help needed including directories I compiled and linked your example into an MSI and ran it and it works great. Notepad.exe and Readme.txt installed. Remember if you are on a 64-bit system you need to look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Example to find your installed files. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Silverstein [mailto:rsilverst...@conarc.com] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2013 9:07 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] help needed including directories I'm new to Wix and having trouble including directories.
