I'm not sure I understand - I had assumed that the BindContentsFileList was a list created by WiX as part of the build.
Anyway, it is correct that the three temporary files get different names on every build. I've attached some of them for your viewing pleasure. I'm still thinking that the way to fix this is to set the timestamps on those temporary files to equal the timestamp on the merge module file, but what do I know?

Thus every time the Merge Module is merged, the BindContentsFileList gets a different set of file names and thinks things are out of date. If you could confirm that, that'd be awesome. If my guess is correct, the fix is to probably to add the paths to the merge modules to the BindContentsFileList *instead of* the files in the merge modules.

The mergemod.dll from the > MSI SDK creates those files Hmm, but WiX must get the filenames of the three files since they end up on the projectName.BindContentsFileListextension.txt list of files. So again, what you should do with those three temporary files is to set their timestamp to the timestamp of the merge module file. That should solve the problem.
