The presence of that table in your MSI simply tells you that an MSM with
that identity was used in creating your MSI. Your WXS already has all of the
information that the MSM had contributed.

If you intend to continue using your MSM in building your MSI, you would
need to identify which parts of your generated authoring come from the MSM,
remove those from your generated authoring, and add <Merge> and <MergeRef>
tags as appropriate so that the merge module can continue to add its
information as before.

That table otherwise isn't needed/used by Windows Installer.

Subject: [WiX-users] Merge Module

Hello,

I am currently working on daily automation of our builds. I have some
understanding of MSBuild and the Windows Build Environment but I am
completely new to MSI's. I am receiving the error below when I attempt to
use dark.exe to decompile our MSI.

...\<path> : warning DARK1062 : The ModuleSignature table can only be
represented in Windows Installer XML for merge modules.  The information in
this table will be left out of the decompiled output.

Other than this error dark appears to decompile everything else
successfully. I have found some documentation on Merge Modules but I am not
understanding how have the table in the above error message recreated in the
compilation of the MSI.

The ModuleSignature table has 18 rows with the format:

     Module ID:                                    Language:
Version:
<name>.<GUID>                                 1033
1.0.0.0

Can you please give me some direction in the best way to go about resolving
the error above and adding the ModuleSignature table to the .wsx file?

Thank you,
Chris
