There's no such thing. Merge modules are a collection of tables and rows
that are merged into your .msi package, losing their identities in the
process. All versio

Self-reg runs code in the DLL; it can do anything, which is one of the
reasons it's evil in an installer.

MSI supports .ini files and WiX additionally supports XML. No arbitrary
text support, however.

Can someone please detail how Merge Module versioning is supposed to work?
I cannot find guidance anywhere for Merge Module versioning (especially in
WiX). I've seen WiXLibraries, so if that would work better, please tell me
how.

Hi,
What are the pros/cons to using Id=* vs Id="someGUID" in the Product element?
The only thing I can think of is that auto-generated GUIDs are a convenience.
Are there any downsides to using them? For example, after a product is
installed, would identifying it using a GUID be hard because the
I believe you want to list these properties as the value of the built-in

The biggest problem with installing dependencies from your UI sequence
is that they do not get called if your MSI is run with silent or basic
UI. And then, since your MSI can't show any UI, it's harder for it to
explain the failure. One hopes that if a person runs the MSI silently,
