Would you say that the Requires element is not needed? I thought that
Requires might be placed inside of an MsiPackage or ExePackage, for
instance, to reference the Provides. But apparently the schema doesn't
support that. It can only be placed under a Bundle, Fragment or Provides. Is
it not
by you?

Hey Neil,
thank you for this example (even you are not sure, if that is sufficient ;-) )!
I have one question: Why do you want
I have a simple burn package that install SQL express and one MSI. The install
works the first time I run it but when I upgrade it the SQL package is removed
(if I upgrade again it is put back). It appears from the logs that it doesn't
recognise that the package is referenced and so the upgrade
More info: Running v1 installs SQL, v2 removes it, v3,4,5 etc installs SQL
then immediately removes it!
In the log file created for the upgrade there is this entry
[1664:16B4][2012-10-01T13:30:31]: Skipping dependency registration on
package with no dependency providers: SQLServerExpress.

The WiX toolset automatically creates a dependency provider for packages
that it can (MsiPackage and in WiX v3.7, MspPackage). Since ExePackages are
opaque, you'd need to add your own dependency provider (Provides element
from WixDependencyExtension) to get the engine to do reference counting.
