Thank you. Your explanation about the Fragments makes sense and removes a lot 
of the confusion (I thought Fragment would have a meaning in the installation 
itself). 

I'll also have a look at what I can find out about these new things 
(ComponentGroup, MediaTemplate) and how the missing pieces (ComponentRef, etc.) 
are substituted. 

Thanks, Daniel

The setup template did change a bit in 3.6. They put the directories and 
components into separate fragments. And they added the MediaTemplate element 
and added the Directory attribute to the ComponentGroup. But for the most part, 
it's mostly like version 3.5, or version 3.0 for that matter. 

Fragments are just a way of making those pieces more modular. You could, for 
example, move those fragments into their own .wxs files and it would still 
work. Or you could remove the fragment elements altogether and it would be fine.

I'm starting an update to the book to try to cover the changes in 3.6.
