Sorry, there was a copy/paste failure in my posting: The directories must be <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder.Compiler' Name='Compiler'> and <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder.Target' Name='Target'> In this case there shouldn't be any error. However, without the merge module everything works fine and it shouldn't make a difference whether there is any merge module or not.
I've some more information: MSDN says an identifier can contain a dot. However, for the directory IDs I replaced "." by "_" and everything works fine. <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder_Compiler' Name='Compiler'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder_Target' Name='Target'> Seems there's a bug somewhere that only appears if I add a merge module to my installation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Mensching" <rob.mensch...@microsoft.com> To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing different files with same name > Based on the authoring below, the error message seems completely correct. > What does a Merge Module have to do with this? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Olaf (SourceForge) [mailto:sf.o...@e-ypsilon.de] > Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 02:53 > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] Installing different files with same name > > Hello, > > I'm trying to install two files with the same name ("Null.cfg") with > different source and target directory.
