The process of appending GUIDs to properties, component IDs, etc when building a merge module is known as Modularization. To stop WiX doing it for a particular property, set Property/@SuppressModularization='yes'.
Modularization is done to reduce the possibility of name clashes between different merge modules and between the merge modules and the installer they're merged into. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 June 2007 21:27 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Remove Guid from Property Id in Merge Module. Hello, I have a Condition being checked in a Component. That Component is in a Merge Module ("<Module/>"). For argument's sake, less call the property id="X". If "X=1" is satisfied, then the component should be installed. If not, don't install it. All that works fine, but when I look at the resulting msm file, the actual name of the condition that is being checked is "X" concatenated with the module Guid. So in the Installer that calls the Merge Module, it has to set "X.1111-2222-3333-4444" in order to get that conditional component to install instead of just "X". Can anyone tell me how I can get the wix to create that property as just "X", and not "X" with the Guid attached?
