Yes, this is one possibility.

However, I have created merge modules with InstallShield and could at least 
type in conditions referring to properties of the main setup. With WiX, the 
Module Id is automatically appended there too.

Is there a general "Guideline" as to when the Moudle ID should be appended?

Best regards,

Matthias Reuss
