Hi everyone,
I've got a question about merge modules.
I've written a merge module and I would like the files of the merge
module to install themselves in the directory that the user selects
while installing the main package.
Example:
*Merge Module:
Program Files
My Product
bin
ApmFile.dll
*Product
Program Files
Alternate Product Dir--> the user selected a different directory than
My Product2
bin
amEngine.exe
-->I would like ApmFile to be installed in the same directory (ie :
Program Files -> Alternate Product Dir -> bin)
Is there a way to achieve this?
Here's my merge module:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Module Id="Module_Test" Language="1033"
Version="$(var.MY_PRODUCT_FILEVERSION_STRING)">
<Package Id="504C56F7-1374-424F-B624-157E502CB661" Description='My
Product' Manufacturer="$(var.MY_COMPANYNAME_STRING)" />
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id="MyProduct" Name="My Product">
<Directory Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Name="The Api">
<Directory Id="bin" Name="bin">
<Component Id="MY_PRODUCT_API_MAIN"
Guid="DC8244DB-25AD-402B-8691-2061797709B1">
<File Id="ApiFile.dll" Name="ApiFile.dll"
Source="$(var.FACT_DESTDIR)\shared_lib\ApiFile.dll" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Module>
</Wix>
The Product wxs goes this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
