Ah, I missed that.
You need to create a reference in your feature to each component, because
now you have components which aren't assigned to any feature, which means
they would never be installed.
Please try this:
1. On your Heat.exe call, specify the -cg argument with a component name:
heat dir "D:\Project\ESI\Code\trunk\db" -cg trunkdb -gg -sfrag -dr
TORTDEMO -out trunkdb.wxs.
This should add a component group with all the components in the output.
The ID should be trunkdb, which you can reference in your Feature.
2. Change your Feature element like so:
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='TORTDEMO' />
<ComponentGroupRef Id='trunkdb'/>
</Feature>
This should reference the component group created in Step #1, drawing all
those components into that feature.
At first glance, the registry entry you've created looks fine. I'd probably
specify a value, but that's just me.
