Summary: Need ref to Binary in Fragment

Initial Comment:
I have the following code:

<Fragment Id="Fragment_Binary">
 <Binary 
Id="LogoBanner"SourceFile="Binary\banner.jpg" />
<Binary Id="AdminBackground" 
SourceFile="Binary\AdminBackground.jpg" />
</Fragment>

I am trying to use the fragment using:

<FragmentRef id="Fragment_Binary"/> and it is giving 
warning on candle (saying that FragmentRef is 
deprecated). 

I do not see any BinaryRef node and I want to use 
fragments,. Is this a bug?

FragmentRef was deprecated because better mechanisms now
exist to reference things (like PropertyRef,
CustomActionRef, etc...).  I'll close this bug, but I'm
still not entirely certain why your scenario was using
FragmentRef - please send mail to wix-users for assistance
with migrating away from wix-users (provide some code
examples if you can - that really helps illustrate things).

Derek,

This not really a binary file. This is a WiX file from the 
last year which had a bunch of <Binary... statements and I 
had put them in a file using fragment. Now the current 
version complains that I should not use FragmentRef. 

Okay so how can I modularize all the binary statements in 
a separate file. 

Maybe it is not a bug. Somethng that has changed and I 
have not kept up with.

No, this is not a bug (perhaps a missing feature though). 
Why do you want to include an arbitrary binary in the MSI? 
What happens with that binary?
