At a minimum, this should provide a warning at compile time. >From an email thread with Derek Cicerone on wix-users: "In rare circumstances, it may be necessary to ensure that the standard actions in an msm appear in your msi before the msm is merged in to ensure that the sequencing of actions from the msm proceeds properly. Ideally, WiX should raise a warning if an msm is merged into an msi with an absolutely sequenced msm action that does not already appear in the msi file. This is because the msm action has no idea where it needs to occur in the msi sequence. MergeMod.dll may already display a warning for this scenario but since WiX currently doesnt capture them it would never show up." The current workaround (suggested by Derek) is to include the standard action in the InstallExecuteSequence element like this: <InstallExecuteSequence> <CreateShortcuts/> </InstallExecuteSequence> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1349400&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
