No. Unfortunately, the ICEs in the WiX toolset come from the MSI SDK. If they were in WiX we'd fix 'em! smile/ On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 11:05 PM, Castro, Edwin G. (Hillsboro) edwin.cas...@fiserv.com wrote: FYI: I found that light.exe has a -sice:ICE argument. Are the ICE distributed by WiX

I think IDs from the merge module get prepended with the merge module ID in some way. You might want to just add the merge module once, build it, and then see what the file ID is in Orca. Rob On 15/01/2010 08:31, ricky sundrani wrote: Tried using the copyfile element inside a component. But

Ya Rob,you are correct, wix does append the module id to the the file id. So i did change the file id in the copy file correspondingly. But i don think wix allows to resolve fild id references from merge modules. On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 2:18 PM, Rob Hamflett r...@snsys.com wrote: I think IDs

You can't merge a Merge Module twice. You can connect the Merge Module to multiple Features but that won't get what you want. I think in your case, you'll have to use a CopyFile element to copy the decorated File/@Id from the Merge Module. On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 10:00 PM, ricky sundrani
