Hi [wix v2]
We're trying to create a merge module of an app that can have file extensions assosiated with it, so the app and the file extensions need to be in different features. The only way we found to do this with merge modules is by creating a separate merge module for the app and the file extensions, allowing the installer that uses them to select a merge module depending on the features asked for. The problem now however is that WiX will modularise the names used in the Target attribute of a verb, e.g.: <Verb Id="open" Command="Open" Target="[!main_app]" Argument='"%1"'/> Here [!main_app] will end up in the database as [!main_app.MOD_GUID] making it impossible to make "main_app" refer to an Id of a file in a different merge module. I have tried to use <IgnoreModularization Name="main_app"/> for this, but could not get this to work, regardless of what I put in the "Name" attribute. Does anybody know of a way to leave "main_app" alone in the name munging of the module? Or some other way to solve this problem (manually editing the .msm with Orca works but isn't really high on my list of favourites ;-)).
