I suspect that the MSM would also fail validation. If it fails, can you get your third party to fix their MSM until it passes validation?

Hi, We are trying to create a msi installer which includes third party merge module using WiX 3.5. I just need to create installer with just merge modules and I don't have any files to be shipped in the installer. When I try to compile the project, I am getting below errors: ------ light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'For32bit.{guid}' is Directory: 'INSTALLDIR.{guid}'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table. light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'For64bit.{guid}' is Directory: 'INSTALLDIR.{guid}'.

The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table. --------- Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue? Thankyou in advance.
