[wix-users] Custom action sequencing

I remember commenting about FragmentRef, but that never existed as far as I am aware. Usually I use a Property in the fragment, and a PropertyRef in the main Product.wxs, but you can use any element type in the fragment and use a "*Ref" element in the Product.wxs to pull it in.

Blair,
That was exactly it, the fragment lacked anything explicitly referenced.
As a result, all the contents were ignored.

Looking at some SO posts, it seems the Fragment element Id attribute once facilitated inclusion by a FragmentRef which is now gone, that's a shame...

Appreciated the insight,
jlc
