I have a case where my merge modules need to tell if they are running in an upgrade, or a fresh install. I have a property that is getting set in my main install to indicate that an upgrade is occurring. I thought that I could then just use that property in my merge modules to condition actions to run during an upgrade or not. However, whenever I build my merge module, the property name in my condition in my merge module always gets postfixed with the merge module's Package Id. For example, I have the following custom action being called in my InstallExecuteSequence:
<Custom Action
="hello" After=
"FindRelatedProducts">NOT PATCHFOUND></
Custom>
However, after i've compiled and linked my merge module, if i view the MSM using Orca, the condition becomes:
NOT PATCHFOUND.4C8C0BBC_B22A_4779_BC25_143C28598F7D
NOT PATCHFOUND.4C8C0BBC_B22A_4779_BC25_143C28598F7D
Is there any way for a merge module to use the properties defined in the main install?
Thanks!
