[WiX-users] SecureCustomProperties from Merge Module

Hi, Looking for your Windows Installer / WiX knowledge about SecureCustomProperties behaviour with merge modules: Setup: - Wix 2.0.5325 - My WiX product FOO.msi merges in a merge module BAR.msm (using Feature/MergeRef and Directory/Merge). - The BAR.msm has a property BAR_SEARCH_RESULT in its
