1. Fair enough. Sharing with multiple products (not all using WiX toolset) pretty much requires Merge Modules.
2. Ahh, yeah, that sounds right. MSI overrides MSM sequencing. I've avoided MSMs for quite a while moving to .wixlibs... but all my products use WiX so I can do that. 3. Drivers suck. <smile/> If the reboot is really required then you're stuck. Again, drivers suck. -----Original Message----- From: jnewton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 09:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling a Reboot After InstallFinalize This MSM is currently shared by not only the product I create, but also by a few other products internally. I inherited this code from another developer and I'm willing to try different routes to conform to better practice. I thought that if an MSI and MSM both defined some standard action with different sequence numbers, the MSI always overruled. Maybe not? The overall scenario is that this MSM installs underlying driver files and needs a reboot at the end of the installation. This MSM is shared by internal groups and we allow our customers to pull in this MSM as well (i.e. maybe if they were building some MSI in Visual Studio) If you have some thoughts regarding a different way to handle this scenario, I'm up for anything.
