Simply wrap the MergeRef's in a Feature then use a FeatureRef -> http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_featureref.htm

Currently, I have a .wxs file with the following: ... <!-- Visual Studio/C++ runtime merge modules --> <Merge Id="VCRedistCRT" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MsmPrefix)CRT$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistCRTPolicy" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.PolicyPrefix)CRT$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistMFC" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MsmPrefix)MFC$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistMFCPolicy" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.PolicyPrefix)MFC$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <!-- Not currently required <Merge Id="VCRedistATL" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MsmPrefix)ATL$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistATLPolicy" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.PolicyPrefix)ATL$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistMFCLOC" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MsmPrefix)MFCLOC$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistMFCLOCPolicy" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.PolicyPrefix)MFCLOC$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistOpenMP" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MsmPrefix)OpenMP$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> <Merge Id="VCRedistOpenMPPolicy" DiskId="1" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.PolicyPrefix)OpenMP$(var.MsmSuffix)" /> --> ... <MergeRef Id="VCRedistCRT"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistCRTPolicy"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistMFC"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistMFCPolicy"/> <!--<MergeRef Id="VCRedistATL"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistATLPolicy"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistMFCLOC"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistMFCLOCPolicy"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistOpenMP"/> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistOpenMPPolicy"/>--> ... I was wondering if and how these merge modules could be grouped somehow and referenced with a single Wix element. Thanks. P.S. Sorry for the HTML. Is plain text the preferred format? P.S.S.
