[WiX-users] Questions about merge modules

Hello. 1) MSM is copied to the MSI when MSI references MSM. And I want to leave MSM out side of the main MSI. How to do it? 2) I want to author a custom action in MSM. Can I use InstallExecuteSequence inside MSM to schedule the CA, since I did not find ModuleInstallExecuteSequence in WiX
