BTW- If you ever want a sympathetic ear for merge module support, just hit me up. I have probably literally taken merge modules farther then anyone else in the world. There isn't much I haven't seen and done with them.

E-Mail Me ----- Original Message ---- From: Hinrich Aue <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, September 15, 2010 6:59:34 AM Subject: [WiX-users] properties in merge modules Hello group, I have a problem with QtExec. I am setting the "QtExecCmdLine" property and all that - like described in http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/qtexec.htm but the property gets renamed too: "QtExecCmdLine.moduleguid" this is because it is in a merge module. I know that fragments are supposed to be the way to go in WiX - but not for me. The merge modules are also published as a project itself (some kind od SDK). So the question is: is there a way to create a "global" property in a merge module? My feeling is - if it is not possible - it is a bug. Or - is the QtExec implementation? Should the <CustomAction> attach the GUID to the property on execute?
