That's the spec'd behavior for Merge Modules (see the MSI SDK). Instead of using Merge Modules could you use a .wixlib instead?

Hi, I have to create/set some application data folders (for all users) und tried to use custom actions 35 or 51 according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367852(VS.85).aspx. WiX fragment: <CustomAction Id="AssignDATADIR" Directory="MYDATADIR" Value="[CommonAppDataFolder]MyCompany\Data" SuppressModularization="yes" /> <CustomAction Id="AssignDATADIR2" Property="MYDATADIR2" Value="[CommonAppDataFolder]MyCompany\Data" SuppressModularization="yes" /> ... <InstallXXXSequence> <Custom Action="AssignDATADIR" Before="CostFinalize">(Not Installed) AND (VersionNT >= 600)</Custom> <Custom Action="AssignDATADIR2" Before="CostFinalize">(Not Installed) AND (VersionNT >= 600)</Custom> ... Unfortunately WiX generates following string (in both cases) in the column Target of CustomActions table: [CommonAppDataFolder.FF60FDA4_016C_4310_A592_F84637EA5195]MyCompany\Data (Note that a merge module is generated, so the PackageId is inserted). It looks for me that only the column Action is affected by setting SuppressModularization. In my case, after linking the merge module into my target msi causes errors during installation because property CommonAppDataFolder.FF60FDA4_016C_4310_A592_F84637EA5195 is unknown there. Is it a bug or should I look for another way ? Thanks, Andrej p.s. Tested with WiX 3.0.4318. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
