Thank you for this hint. Then there is indeed no need for MergeGroup. It might help to add "FeatureGroup" to the list of possible parents of the "Merge" element in the documentation. Rob Mensching-6 wrote: > > A FeatureGroup doesn't mean there is a Feature contained. A FeatureGroup > contains

A FeatureGroup doesn't mean there is a Feature contained. A FeatureGroup contains all of the stuff a Feature can contain. Just define a FeatureGroup with only MergeRef elements in it. zett42 wrote: > Yeah, I could live with it. But it doesn't feel right to create an artificial > feature just for

Yeah, I could live with it. But it doesn't feel right to create an artificial feature just for grouping merge modules. It is not intuitive for WiX beginners I think. Rob Mensching-6 wrote: > > Doesn't FeatureGroup/FeatureGroupRef do what you want? It also allows > Features, but that should be

[WiX-users] MergeGroup / MergeGroupRef

2009-05-19 Thread zett42
I noticed that it is currently not possible to reference a group of merge modules (e. g. VC++ runtimes) which are defined in another file, other than grouping the merge modules in a feature. Than we can use to reference the merge modules. So would it make sense to add new elements "MergeGroup" a
