I have a merge module with some content common to several .MSI's and I'd like the .MSI that contains/includes the .MSM to specify where the .MSM should install its content - how can I do that?
I've tried the following - but it puts the 2 folders (PanoCntrl and MyAccount) directly in c:\program files rather than under, say, c:\program files\Development Kit May 2010 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'> <Module Id='MDSCLib' Language='1033' Version='1.0.0' > <!-- The package GUID should be changed every time you build MSI so * is used to tell tools to do that. --> <Package Id='8DD907C3-B5BF-4549-85BC-F34F1E1F4424' Comments='This MSM file installs the MDSC Library.'

Well, I pieced it together from some info<http://blogs.claritycon.com/blogs/sajo_jacob/archive/2007/12/18/3543.aspx> on the internet - it's likely that I misinterpreted the posting I got that from. Thanks for the help!
