Can someone please detail how Merge Module versioning is supposed to work? I cannot find guidance anywhere for Merge Module versioning (especially in WiX). I've seen WiXLibraries, so if that would work better, please tell me how.
The scenario, which I believe is common: Certain shared files and registry settings ought to always be the most up-to-date, installed by any of three MSIs that contain the shared files. Any one MSI may be installed alone OR multiple MSIs may be installed to the same machine. Uninstallation should not remove components if they are still used by other installations. Installation with older shared file/registry settings (as a whole) should not overwrite newer versions. I believe that Merge Modules exist for this purpose. I don't believe that I need a separate MSI and boot-strapper executable to achieve this functionality. I feel pretty comfortable in WiX generally, but I am really struggling with this.
