Hi
WindowsFolder Property is resolved to empty string inside merge module.
The wix code snippet where it is looking for the standard WindowsFolder
property is
<util:XmlConfig Id="FirstRemove" Action="delete" On="install" Sequence="1"
File="[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config"
When I try to install the msi which is built using the above msm. I get an
error saying
Unable to find the file Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
When I open the msm file using orca, the xmlconfig section shows that the
WindowsFolder property is being replaced with
[WindowsFolder.MSM_GUID] the MSM guid sections are separated using ‘_’.
As per my understanding the standard properties like WindowsFolder should not
be modularized. Please let me know if I am missing any flag indicating wix
compiler for not to modularize some standard Property.
Observation:
This behavior is not observed in the wix version 3.0.2921.0 which i used to
generate MSI’s.
In this version the WindowsFolder Property is not modularized and we were able
to use it inside the msm
When we upgraded the wix toolset with the build 3.0.4323.0 this behavior is
observed. I tried with 3.0.4429.0 and is behaving in the same way.
If this is a expected behavior then please let me know a way to use Standard
Properties like WindowsFolder inside an merge module.

swadhin
