I think you're getting confused between two separate issues. If you're
getting the ICE error, then that would stop the build from successfully
completing. You may be using an out of date version of your installer.
Because of that, I would suggest that you do the following
1. Resolve the ICE issue. You suppress it so that it doesn't get run, but
the better thing to do is usually to solve the error. In this case, that
means add a registry entry to the component and mark it as KeyPath=yes.
2. Determine whether your directory structure is getting added to your
install. You can do this in a number of ways - using Orca.exe or performing
an admin install are two of them. Based on your question, I can't see a
reference to anything in the Fragment which contains the harvested
directory structure, so I suspect that you need to add a reference to
something in there.
For example:
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='TORTDEMO' />
<ComponentRef Id='cmpCB46AAB9A4F3EB62F8247A194B4BBB4B' />
</Feature>
Once you've dealt with those issues, you may see WiX complain about other
issues - for starters, your root DirectoryRef entry in that structure is
missing an ID, so the structure won't have a valid parent which means MSI
won't know where to put it.
My advice would be to concentrate on getting a successful compilation, then
work from there. Keep compiling regularly as you work. If you see a
compilation failure, stop and deal with it. This makes it much easier to
deal with issues as you discover them.
Hope that helps
