Re: [WiX-users] Ref File Id in a merge module

2009-11-03 Thread Svet Bonev
Are you consuming the merge module through Merge/MergeRef? If so, you wouldn't be able to get past this error - merge modules are processed as part of the binding phase of the WiX build process which is well after linking -- where you got the error. I can suggest you two approaches: 1) Modify th

WiX 3.0 patches produced using torch on wixpdbs will not include payload coming from merge modules. This is by design because the merge modules are merged *after* the wixpdbs are created. You have 2 options: 1) Use admin images instead of wixpdbs. 2) Change your build process to use melt.exe on

The granularity at which WiX v3 patching operates is a Fragment. This means that any updated files authored in that Fragment will be packaged into the patch. When you say the files have not changed, I assume you mean that you haven't changed their source code. But most likely they got new file

No, there is no built-in functionality to accomplish that. But the bigger question is why you want to create such components. Ideally, you would have file KeyPaths. Random component guids are usually bad for servicing scenarios. What are you doing with these components? Giving us more details
