Hi all, I've asked a similar question before, but after much slamming of my
head against the wall I'm back again. I got my installation package working
correctly with a file system defined using components. Later it was decided
that, for ease of use and ability to always have the latest files in the
installer we would use merge modules instead. When I replaced a component
with a merge module I got some weirdness.
All I did was take a component out completely, replace with a merge module
that included the same files and update the reference in the corresponding
feature. Now, when I look in the log file after install, I can see that the
merge module (which should install to INSTALLDIR) is installed to the
default value of INSTALLDIR every time, while the remaining components
install correctly to the updated value of INSTALLDIR. I've tried
specifically updating the directories created by the merge module, but its
as if they cannot be edited during the installation process. I'm not sure
what else to try. The merge module installs to the module retargetable
folder (which is fine), but it cannot be retargeted (to say c:\Test\module
retargetable folder instead of c:\program files\module retargetable folder).
Any ideas?
