Are you intending to ship the merge modules to others, or are you simply using them as a "library" for your own use?
If the latter, I would recommend wixlibs instead of merge modules. If the former, you have to explicitly author the merge modules to support "configuration" and/or explicitly mark specific items as "suppress modularization" in order to set properties in the merge module. -----Original Message----- From: NateBank [mailto:etherw...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 11:50 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting account info in merge module from MSI dialog I'm re-authoring them from scratch. Currently the merge modules are just a small collection of file components, one of them being the service exe that needs to be registered. The service component looks like so: <Component Id="DispatcherService.exe" Guid="hey-look-a-guid" SharedDllRefCount="no" KeyPath="no" NeverOverwrite="no" Permanent="no" Transitive="no" Win64="no" Location="local"> <File Id="DispatcherService.exe" Name="DispatcherService.exe" Source="$(var.DispatcherServiceFolder)\DispatcherService.exe" ReadOnly="no" Compressed="yes" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" Hidden="no" System="no" Checksum="no" /> <ServiceInstall Id="DispatcherServiceInstall" Name="DispatcherService.exe" DisplayName="Dispatcher v.$(var.ProductVersion)" Description="Dispatcher Service for version $(var.ProductVersion)" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Account="[ServiceLogonAccount]" Password="[ServiceLogonPassword]" /> <ServiceControl Id="DispatcherServiceControl" Name="DispatcherService.exe" Start="install" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" /> </Component> Blair-2 wrote: > > How that is done really depends on the merge module.
