Oddly that doesn't seem to be the issue. There are a lot of differences between the two wxs files (much more than just adding a dummy file and shortcut). Could you please try to narrow down the changes a bit more between the working and non-working install? Also, please attach a verbose log from a failed install so that we can check that out as well.

If not, then rather than adding a dummy file and shortcut, you can add those actions directly to your wxs. -Brian Simoneau -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arto Stimms Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 8:34 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating msi from merge module fails Hi, There does not seem to be any errors in the log and the msi file has the correct size. Another WiX user who had the same problem advised me to add a dummy file and shortcut to make it work. This works (wsx file attached) but is not very elegant. A doubt that my users would like dummy files placed on their desktop. Does anybody have any ideas why the merge module is not being installed without dummey file+shortcut (I tried removing just the shortcut, but it didn't work), or mayby ideas for a workaround?
