Firstly, the [#filekey] syntax must refer to File/@Id, not Binary/@Id. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa368609.aspx> Secondly, Windows Installer reportedly does not support indirect property accesses with extra text, e.g. [[foo].config]. I think this implies it does not support [#MyService.exe.[ENVIRONMENTID].config] either. It does support [[foo]] though. <news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://groups.google.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi, 2005-11-23) What you're trying to do might be doable with conditional components instead. Alternatively, install all of the files.
