Re: [WiX-users] Passing Property into MergeModule
Thank you for that. How do you use "MyName" though, do you use it as if it were a property from within the merge module?

Re: [WiX-users] Passing Property into MergeModule
Hi, I had a go at configurable merge modules a while back from another mailing list post, but never needed to use them as I converted the dependent MSM to a wixlib. I think I got this to work, it passes the DBNAME property to the merge module. Add to a merge module wix file. add to the calling wix Dave W. -Original Message- From: Christopher Karper [mailto:christopher.kar...@gmail.com] Sent: 28 May 2009 14:29 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Passing Property into MergeModule
We do this for our merge modules : In the MSI xml, set up PropertyName with the value you want to pass : In the merge module xml You can then use MyName to access the value of PropertyName passed through from the installer. This is for text. Change Format and Type to pass e.g. a directory name or a number. I believe this to be an example of configurable merge modules. 2009/5/28 Shree Krishnamurthi : > Hi > > I would like to pass a property from my master setup (ie msi ) to one of > the merge modules. > > Is it possible?

Re: [WiX-users] Passing Property into MergeModule
The Merge Module would need to have a public Property and you'd have to refer to it with its modularized Id in your MSI. Or you could use Configurable Merge Modules but they are usually more complicated than worth the effort.
