Gert and Jim, I've created a bug http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1179408&group_id=54 790&atid=474851 and added a patch to fix the hyphen in the directory name issue. Note that Windows Installer names with hyphens seem to work, they are getting flagged as errors by ORCA or another validation tool. Also, there are probably other characters that are legal in a directory name, but not in a WI name, so other characters should get replaced as well, but my patch only handles hyphens.
Alas, that wasn't my problem here, I fixed the hyphen issue and still had the problem with the merge module. I have another module that works almost identically and it's fine, but not this one. I had to do that particular module in Wise :-( The issue with components going into FeatureComponents instead of ModuleComponents is another issue that is getting flagged as an error by ORCA. Something Else I found is that you shouldn't use the InstallExecuteSequence table in a merge module, instead use the ModuleInstallExecuteSequence which isn't an option in the <sequences> tag. I don't know if the <sequences> tag should be removed from the MSM task or not, but one that support the ModuleInstallExecuteSequence would be nice ;-) (I'm building this one with the <tables> tag at the moment). I have not yet created a bug on this issue. Also, it would be nice to be able to mark a table to not be removed when the MSM/MSI task deletes all of the empty tables. A few orca errors are that some empty tables are required in a MSM file (but things seem to work ok with out them, go figure). And last, I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the banners in the MSI template are 374 pixels wide, while the dialogs are 370 wide. This seems to result in the banner image getting resized to fit and that can make your image look pretty crappy. I can fix the template if you want in Wise and save it back out and post it to a bug.
