Sorry. I was wondering what the normal practice would be when you have files that are utility files for the installation and not apart of the application. They are not supposed to be installed, such as a merge module. The msm doesn't get "installed" however it's content will be installed.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to treat support files that do not getinstalled ontarget machine? Your question is a bit vague (and contradictory). What do you want to do with these "support" files exactly? If they're required for your product then use a bootstrapper to install them before your product. Since you have a merge module for the XML Parser simply merge it into your MSI using the Merge & MergeRef nodes if that's the case.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to treat support files that do not get installed ontarget machine? I have some support files that I would like to include on the installation disk. What's the typical practice for dealing with these types of files that do not get installed? For example, I have a merge module for the MS XML Parser that I want to call in my install.
