The wixstdba will automatically search for a .wxl file of the system
language (i.e. look in 1033 directory for english and 1041 for german and
1044 for japanese, or are those last two switched?).
Failing to find a matching .wxl file will cause wixstdba to fall back to a
.wxl in the root.

That's all that is supported today. It would be fantastic if you wanted to
contribute the code to do more.

can you please provide me any documentation related to that.
Merge Modules are a build time concept only. The Windows Installer does not
undersstand them at all. This fact is a large part of the reason Merge
Modules are dying. One key issue is that Merge Modules make things very
difficult to patch (because patching was implemented after Merge Modules

Check patch applicability. That's what Burn does. The 1.0.2 MSP won't be
applicable to a 1.0.3 product.

Hi!
I want to add files to my installed program with a minor upgrade.
I’ve got an msi installer, works fine.
Now I’ve created an upgrade msi, it only contains 1 file i want to add to the

Thanks
IMO, in certain situations, merge modules are not quite dead. Here's my
opinion:

If you are staying in a WiX world, yes, wixlibs and fragments are a better

It seems that despite being called the util:User element that it was
actually able to locate an ActiveDirectory Group. I just left many of the
attributes blank and told it to not create or update the user.
I don't have the C++ chops to extend these but there is another thread

FWIW, I'd consider a doco note saying that it can find groups to be good
enough. What I've actually needed even more in the past was the ability
to create groups. The Group element has a note saying that it can't create
groups. I've always resorted to custom actions to do this.
Didn't know the User element could find groups. That's probably some
accidental side effect.
Creating groups is another thing that would be nice if someone implemented.
Rollback on it is really, really hard, IIRC.
