It certainly is being used in the .wxs project . The error you see is somewhere in the .wxs file(not Custom action). Search for " CommonFilesFolder" in the whole solution.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] What is this code doing? I commented this part of code and I do get the following error: Error 2 Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:CommonFilesFolder' in section 'Fragment:'. E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\VSExtension\wixlib\HTML_Help_Registration__RTL_X86.wxs Seems that is used somewhere. Any idea on how to find which custom action is depending on this?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] What is this code doing? Thanks Stephan, It seems an orphan peace of code. No fragments are using it and no reference to that Help folder is anywhere in the project. Seems to me safe to remove it. I will try to get rid of it and verify if the installation is still working as expected. I was scared about Bogus_HHRegCA_component, tough may be a reference to something internal. But now it's clear that is just a simple component definition nothing else.

It is ensuring that an empty directory named "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help" It seems a bit odd that DirectoryRef elements aren't being used. We would need to see more of the Fragment/file to know EXACTLY where this directory structure will land. is created.

Subject: [WiX-users] What is this code doing? Hi all, I inherited in maintenance a WiX project and unfortunately who created can't be asked about it. All of the code is clear except the following: <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="Program Files"> <Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder" Name="Common Files"> <Directory Id="MSShared.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8" Name="Microsoft Shared"> <Directory Id="D_Help" Name="Help"> <Component Id="Bogus_HHRegCA_component" Guid="{07C0C968-85D1-11D4-A53F-0090278A1BB8}" KeyPath="yes"> <CreateFolder Directory="D_Help" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Can anyone help me understanding what is this code doing?
