Aha! I ran the test using an XP image running in VMware Player with VMware Tools installed. It looks like there was some sort of conflict between the merge module and VMware when repairing. As discussed previously in this topic, using the redistributable solved the problem simply and appears to be

It feels hackish because that's not the intended way to do things. Of course, I'm not sure the "ideal path" is well documented and it's more work so the hackish may be your ideal. First, the CustomTable definition (just Column elements) can be put in a separate Fragment. Then, when you populate a

Referencing an empty PayloadGroup from each relevant fragment did the trick. :) Yes I do have a custom MBA that parses the metadata in BootstrapperApplicationData.xml and uses it to customise the UX. Sent from my iPhone On 6 Jul 2012, at 16:29, "Hoover, Jacob [via Windows Installer XML (WiX) t

I suspected it might have something to do fragment references. No I don't have any Refs in those fragments (I was trying to preserve sanity by separating everything into fragments containing only related elements - there really should be something like TableRef, VariableRef etc). I'll try includ

It's working for me. After defining the table and the data, did you remember to reference the table in the same fragment as a payload group which you reference inside your BootstrapperApplicationRef? -Original Message- From: jimitndiaye [mailto:jimitndi...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July
