Hi, I'm new to this forum and it seem, I din't post to the correct subforum, so sorry and here's my second try. I have built several Wix product installers for which each of them is an independent product and has its dedicated msi installer file and also a wix merge module associated to it. I would like to be able to create a 'macro installer' out of these multiple installers. But if I create a new product installer with all my merge modules referenced, they won't show as different products in the ARP control panel, but as a single, consolidated product. I would like to be able to add remove individually each products, but also sometimes install all of them at once. Typically, after a full install, I would like to be able to remove and then add again new version of the products. On purpose, I would like to avoid upgrades strategies at least for the first iteration, and deal with only modular install/uninstall sequences instead. I though about creating a vb script that would iterate thru all the msi files and run an install to automate a full install of all products. Is there a better way (that would still prevent me to release 'upgrade' products and keep on dealing with only modular products install/uninstall) ?
