Thanks for the speedy reply Daniel. All very helpful. Is there a generic way to trigger off the merged installation? Or does that depend on each merge module? I'd like to trigger off this licencing stuff at the end of the rest of the install.
Thanks again, Dominique. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Madill [mailto:dan.mad...@quanser.com] Sent: 30 June 2011 16:31 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Use a Merge element in your Directory tree, such as: <Merge Id="merge_3rdparty" SourceFile="path_to_3rdparty_module\merge_3rdparty.msm" DiskId="1" Language="1033" /> Note that you can use environment variables in the path with a syntax such as $(env.MyEnvVar). I use the $(env.CommonProgramFiles) syntax to access standard merge modules under $(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules. Also add a MergeRef element under one of your Features (just like you would a ComponentRef). For example: <MergeRef Id="merge_3rdparty"/> Dan -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Louis [mailto:dominique.lo...@amxeurope.com] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 11:03 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to use a Merge Module *.msm file in a WiX project.... Hi all, I have an existing *.wixproj and have been given a 3rd party *.msm which I need to incorporate into my installer. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. Any insights? Alternatively, how can I convert my *.wixproj into a *.vdproj as I know in Visual Studion 2010, I can just right click on *.vdproj files and then easily add the *.msm file that way.
