Supoosing the MSM is some custom msm with one just one component and one
file.
like
<Directory>..
<Component>
<File>
<File/>
<Component/>
<Directory/>..
Now if i use the above code then too i can't use it.
Merge Modules are for code re-usability, But using the same merege module
twice within the the same wxs file i.e to install the file (referenced in
the merge module) to two locations is not possible.
Or is there a way to do it?
