It's not easy for us to have the installer team do that (it's a big
product).
We actually found IndexWriter.AddIndexes to do almost what we wanted:
just pass in empty list of IndexReader's, and customize the mergedName
to what we want it to be; I made extended IndexWriter to have this new
method.
public virtual void MergeToName(string mergedName)
{
AddIndexes(new IndexReader[] { } );
AddIndexes(new IndexReader[] { }, mergedName); // same as
current AddIndexes but lets mergedName passed in
}
It has to have a merged segment with a random name (the 1st line), in
case the segment name is already mergedName. Then it can merge to
mergedName.
Anways. Just want to share this if anyone else needs constant .cfs name
in the generated index directory.

Oh, fix as in make constant, not fix as in broken <G>...
No, I don't know of any way to do this. Can your installer just
pack up everything in a directory?
