1. Which version of WiX, mallow is v2, heat is v3.
1a. Yes, this should generate all the registration info for you.
1b. Definitely not.
1c. There are issues with this so I would avoid it but better that 1b!
2. Yes as many as you like.
Hope this helps.

A separate component for every file is the recommended approach. It also
