I have a question about design of installer and merge modules. I have a COM server as base component. This is reusable and must be used a by a tool. Further this tool may be part of a product.
BaseComponent + Tool -> ToolInstaller BaseComponent + Tool + Application -> ProductInstaller I want to design the best set of WiX projects. Since the base component is reusable it should be implemented with a merge module, shouldn't it? When I build the tool installer I will use a WiX product project to generate a MSI file. But how should I integrate the tool installation in the product? One solution would be a tool merge module. But does the product always have to add the tool merge module and the base component merge module. Or can I design the tool merge module to "include" the base component? How can a wix library help here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
