The linker should be providing you a very specific error message pointing at the line of code that is duplicated. Can you provide that?
Also, make sure you're not sending the same .wixlib into the linker twice (or more!). That'll duplicate tons of things right away. <smile/> On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 1:23 AM, Florian Schricker <fschric...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello list! > > > I'm having issues while evaluating WiX for our solutions. > > (I've asked before about merge modules but I completely scrapped those.) > > Setup: > - using Visual Studio 08 (VS08) > - WiX3 installed incl.
