Yes, I think any namespaces on the <Include> element need to be propogated up to the including file's top-level element, or need to be explicitly qualified (with an XML namespace declaration) at the point of use. IIRC the last one was someone using the IIS schema within the included file, but not in the including file.

In my include files, I am using elements from the Utility extension. The Include tag has xmlns:util=:"". When this file is included in my main .wxs, by using <?include ?>, the <Include> element is stripped out. This removes the xmlns:util attribute from the top of the included section. Because my .wxs file does not use any elements in the util namespace, the root element in that file does not contain the xmlns attribute. This causes an XML exception, because the elements in the Included section have util: prefixes, which is not declared in the concatenated xml. I'm going to work on a fix, which I'll submit Monday or Tuesday. As a workaround, I just added the xmlns:util attribute to my .wxs files, so the total xml, after including the include files, is valid XML. I am also going to submit a change to the error message for this error, and note that it is caused by malformed XML, rather than a .NET 1.1 SP1 bugfix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
