If you do that, how do you resolve it against this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368034.aspx: A merge module should never deliver a component containing system files to the main feature of an application, because this may cause the Installer to validate and repair the application each time the system file is used. A .msi file that is intended to accept components from a merge module should be authored so that any components that contain system files only belong to features that are separate from the main feature of the application.
If your package uses a merge module containing system files that link all the components from the merge module to the main feature of the application, an attempt to use the system file may trigger the Installer to try and repair the main feature of the application. If the main feature cannot be repaired, the installation may fail. --- I presume "system files" are main application files in this context. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Bob Arnson > Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 2:19 AM > To: vij > Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] way to create merge module and > avoiding codeduplication > > vij wrote: > > In our project we have to create MSI package of our product > and also > > need to distribute our product as redistributable merge module. > > Build the merge module with your components and then consume > the merge > module in your product .msi. > > -- > sig://boB > http://bobs.org > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > Take Surveys.
