Hi,
I had a go at configurable merge modules a while back from
another mailing list post, but never needed to use them as I converted
the dependent MSM to a wixlib.
I think I got this to work, it passes the DBNAME property to the merge
module.
Add to a merge module wix file.
<Configuration Name="DBNAME_Property" Format="Text"
NonNullable="yes" DefaultValue="defaultValue" />
<Property Id="DBNAME" Value="unset">
</Property>
<Substitution Table="CustomAction" Row="setdbname" Column="Target"
Value="[=DBNAME_Property]" />
<CustomAction Property="DBNAME" Value="[DBNAME]" Id="setdbname"
Execute="immediate" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="setdbname" After="LaunchConditions" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
add to the calling wix
<Property Id="DBNAME" Value="toplevelunset" />
<Merge Id="blob" DiskId="1" Language="1033"
SourceFile="..\mergey\mergey.msm">
<ConfigurationData Name="DBNAME_Property"
Value="[DBNAME]" />
</Merge>

I've also never seen any solid instructions or advice on how to use a
configurable merge module. No one seems to actually know how.
