WIX MSI package

I am new to WIX and trying to create a WIX for my Web application.

I have run heat.exe as PreBuild Event of Installer setup project. 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\heat.exe" dir "$(Wixdest)" -cg BUDirect -gg -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -dr INSTALLLOCATION -var env.Wixdest -out "C:\Workspaces\Chatra\BUFragment.wxs"

The BUfragment.wxs is created as specified above and reference structure of all dll,xml,pdb is seen in BUfragment.wxs after compile; and CAB and MSI package is created in Bin\Release folder.

But when i try to see into Cab non of the files related to Web application or TARGETDIR are not their.

What could have been gone wrong and any idea if am I missing some configuration settings?

Have you added the <ComponentGroupRef Id="BUDirect" /> created in the BUFragment.wxs into a feature?

Fragments are only included within the build when you reference one of the elements within the fragment.
