Any help would be appreciated,
thanks in advance!!!
Please try to extend the directory section with the vendor folder like this:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="Vendor" Name="VendorName">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="App">
<!-- Sample component -->
<Component Feature="ProductFeature">
<File Source="C:\Windows\notepad.exe" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
I like to avoid the <Fragment>
sections for small WiX packages. See a sample of this here: https://github.com/glytzhkof/all/blob/master/WiXBitnessX64/WiXBitnessX64/Product.wxs
You can keep all markup inside single <WiX>
and <Product>
element.
