If you need to refer to properties within a merge module from an installer which consumes that merge module, you should tell WiX not to modularize that property. You do this with the SuppressModularization attribute.
There are a number of other elements which have a SuppressModularization attribute. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Breiding Sent: 29 June 2007 20:11 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] wix variable help... I would like to use the packagecode generation built into the compiler. However because of some of my customizations I have to hard code the packagecode because this is needed to identify some components of the msm. Is there a way to access the generated one via $(var.packagecode), which actually doesnt work, or some other method. One thing I have found is that compiler will not replace the generation entry in any place except for the package/id entry. it would be nice if it could be used as <?define packagecode=?????-????... ?> and then $(var.packagecode) could be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
