Light.exe is throwing the error LGHT0094: Unresolved reference to symbol 'Component:cmp1371E89086CE398AF5D423EDAFA21774' in section 'Fragment:'.

The WXS file heat.exe generates is creating an invalid id for the ComponentRef.

The fragment references ID is cmp1371E89086CE398AF5D423EDAFA21774_2 instead of cmp1371E89086CE398AF5D423EDAFA21774. Can you please fix this?
