WiX includes output into one .msi file

Using this heat command

heat dir "$(SolutionDir)scr\A\A.WindowsService\bin\$(Configuration)" -t "$(SolutionDir)scr\Installers\A\AInstallerHeat\Filter.xsl" -var wix.Path -dr ConfigurationUtilityDir -gg -g1 -cg ConfigurationUtilityComponents -xo -srd -out "$(SolutionDir)scr\Installers\A\AInstallerHeat\ConfigurationUtilityHeat.wxs"

and this configuration for Product.wxs file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"

    <Package InstallerVersion="200"  InstallScope="perMachine" />

    ...
    <MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />

            <!-- Bin folder -->
            <Directory Id="BINDIR" Name="bin"/>
          ...
    </Directory>
  </Product>

  <Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="BINDIR">

      <Component Id="CMP_AWindowsService"
                 Guid="3D3DE5C1-7154-4c61-9816-248A85F6DEBF"
                 KeyPath='no'>

        <File Id="A.WindowsService.exe"
              Name="A.WindowsService.exe"
              KeyPath="yes"
              Vital="yes"
              Source="$(var.SolutionDir)\scr\A\A.WindowsService\bin\$(var.Configuration)\bin\A.WindowsService.exe"
              ReadOnly='no'
              Compressed='yes'
              Hidden='no'
              System='no'
              Checksum='no'/>  

...
   ...
      </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
  </Fragment>
</Wix>

the output of the build is this: enter image description here

As you can see, the .msi package contains the essential files, but all DLLs are included into 'PFiles' folder. Is there a way to include all DLLs into .msi package and not create the folder?

Thanks

Just add the attribute Compressed="yes" to Package node.

Here the result:

<Package InstallerVersion="200" InstallScope="perMachine" Compressed="yes" />
