Hi,
I have 4 products for which I need installers. Each installer requires 3
DLLs from another of my products.
In my reading on the Internets, it appears that the "right" way to share
these DLL components is to use a merge module. However, the WiX way
appears to be to use a ComponentRef.

Generally you don't. Instead, you can use WiX's support for "smart

Hi,
I'm fairly new to wix, and I want to create a msi-file to distribute my
.net application. My app consists of several components, which require
certain assemblies. These assemblies are required in the same folder as
the application (I don't want to place them in the GAC right now).
So I have a

By design, it is possible for the user to install this file list once or

more than one place.
Am I on the right track so far?

In our product, we have a bunch of features that are usually all
installed on the same machine, but were designed to be able to be
installed as stand alone programs on separate machines. As a result,
there are a bunch of files that are shared between the different

I have a question concerning how I can get a set of shared files into 2

I have 2 features (a service and a setup application) that have 8 files

All 8 files need to be in the same directories as their respective

For best results, you should ensure that any common files are members of
the same component (i.e. have the same component GUID) in all packages
that distribute them. Further, the component should have the same
