Hi Brian, Ok.. Thanks for the info. I guess I'm still unclear or was unclear on how I should be building my installer. I'm still flying blind where as I'm trying different things to see what works best. I was using WixAware, and now that I've pulled away from that I'm finding that there are a lot of changes due to out dated keywords and all.
Oh, Heat wasn't giving me the error. That part was fine. It wasn't until I copied the component block of code out of the fragment that Heat generated, into the directory section of my merge module. I was getting the error during the rebuild and it was hiccuping on the "SystemFolder" value for the HelpDirectory keyword in the registry information for the file I was adding to the componient.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom MergeModules Hey Jim, In general merge modules should be avoided. Unless you have clients of your product which will be integrating your merge module it is better to use .wixlib files internally to allow for shared components across multiple packages. What error are you getting in heat?
