This week I was onboarding a member of the team into the voodoo of setup development using WiX. My normal advice is to just grab the latest weekly build. Well was I in for a surprise when they informed me that our library would not compile because of an missing required attribute for the VSExtension PlugCollectionInto element.
In checking the history I noticed that Eric had fixed the issues that arose when trying to use the merge modules for integrating help into VS2005/2008. I eliminated all the hoops that one had to jump through to get the sequencing right, as well as the MergeModule references and then added the required attribute. Once I figured out that I needed to have the CommonFilesFolder in my directory table, everything just worked. Just thought I would say thanks, as the sequencing issues that arose from using the merge modules that ship with the VS SDKs caused some of my bigger headaches in the past.
