This is a general question that I have run into several times. I understand how to author an element like ComponentGroup as a child of a Fragment, and then reference that fragment using ComponentGroupRef, as one example. However I came across several elements that do not have a corresponding XxxxRef element, yet the chm says they can be a child of Fragment. So when authoring as a Fragment how does it get pulled into the product.
For a specific example, as I was reading up on using data-driven custom actions I tried to create a CustomTable in a Fragment. However I did not find a way to get the custom table into my product without abandoning the Fragment and putting the same code under Product. In another situation I was studying the use of Lux and reading that it was important to use fragments. So I put the InstallExecuteSequence in a Fragment, but I never found a way to get that code to compile into the package. Again I had to remove the Fragment and move the code as a child of Product In both cases Fragment and Product are possible parents of these elements in the chm. I guess I am just looking for advice on when these elements, which do not have a corresponding XxxxRef element, would be used as a child of Fragment?
