I Don't see anywhere in there where you declare the property before you use it. You may want to declare the property first Using <Property Id='SS_INSTALL_COM /> before you evaluate it. I think right now because its in a <Component /> tag and that you aren't using a <Property /> tag its thinking that SS_INSTALL_COM is a property of the component and attaching the GUID to make it unique.

Hi Pierson, Here is a sample. It creates a merge module that contains notepad.exe. If you need it, I can send you the resulting .msm file. I don't know if the mailgroup admins allow attachments. Anyway, when I look at the resulting msm file, the property in the condition is changed to: SS_INSTALL_COM.98D2E4B9_9DA9_4F65_86A2_C71387B2AE10=1 Am I specifying the property wrong or something? <!--Source below --> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Module Id='MyModule' Guid='98D2E4B9-9DA9-4F65-86A2-C71387B2AE10' Language='1033' Version='1.0.0.0'> <Package Id='98D2E4B9-9DA9-4F65-86A2-C71387B2AE10' InstallerVersion='200' Compressed='yes' Manufacturer='Test'/> <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='CommonFilesFolder' Name='CFiles'> <Directory Id='TestShared' Name='Test'> <Component Id='Comp2' Guid='DE265B7D-F726-41A9-9F0D-7A0449A6CEDE' > <File Id='Comp2.notepad' Name='notepad.exe' Source='C:\windows\notepad.exe' /> <Condition>SS_INSTALL_COM=1 </Condition> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Module> </Wix> -----Original Message----- From: Pierson Lee (Volt) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 5:01 PM To: Robert Priest; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Remove Guid from Property Id in Merge Module. Do you have any source I can look at? I can't seem to duplicate this. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 1:27 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Remove Guid from Property Id in Merge Module. Hello, I have a Condition being checked in a Component. That Component is in a Merge Module ("<Module/>"). For argument's sake, less call the property id="X". If "X=1" is satisfied, then the component should be installed. If not, don't install it. All that works fine, but when I look at the resulting msm file, the actual name of the condition that is being checked is "X" concatenated with the module Guid. So in the Installer that calls the Merge Module, it has to set "X.1111-2222-3333-4444" in order to get that conditional component to install instead of just "X". Can anyone tell me how I can get the wix to create that property as just "X", and not "X" with the Guid attached?
