Hi all, I've asked a similar question before, but after much slamming of my head against the wall I'm back again. I got my installation package working correctly with a file system defined using components. Later it was decided that, for ease of use and ability to always have the latest files in the installer we would use merge modules instead. When I replaced a component with a merge module I got some weirdness.
All I did was take a component out completely, replace with a merge module that included the same files and update the reference in the corresponding feature. Now, when I look in the log file after install, I can see that the merge module (which should install to INSTALLDIR) is installed to the default value of INSTALLDIR every time, while the remaining components install correctly to the updated value of INSTALLDIR. I've tried specifically updating the directories created by the merge module, but its as if they cannot be edited during the installation process. I'm not sure what else to try. The merge module installs to the module retargetable folder (which is fine), but it cannot be retargeted (to say c:\Test\module retargetable folder instead of c:\program files\module retargetable folder). Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Merge-Modules-not-retargetable-during-install--tf3754445.html#a10610680 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
