No.. That would be normal. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2034934&group_id=105970&atid=642714
You need to add the Module GUID to the file ID. Wix does a lot of nice things for us, including handling the ID redirection that occurs with modularization. When you refer to your simple Assembly.dll ID, in almost every case Wix will turn that into a properp merged reference. But, the binder variables are missing this step right now, so you need to manually work around by referening the final form. You can cut & paste it from orca, or you can use your module's guid to figure it out yourself. (I highly suggest the Orca route) So, don't mess with your file's declaration, just change your binder variable references. I would suggest going through the archives for this group about binder variables. There are quite a few gotchas involved, and you can make sure you're installing as you expect if you do the reading. :-) Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
