The custom actions are type 51. The problem is that the merge modules have type 51 CA's using properties they expect me to set. They have it authored properly to be put in the msi before CostInitialize. Instead of going in before CostInitialize which is at sequence 800, they are merged in as sequence 1-12. Even if I author mine to be non overridden and to be sequence 1-12 mine still get placed after the merged ones starting at 13. Since theirs requires mine it isn't working.
I did find a workaround that seems to be working. I'm merging multiple msm's but have found that if the one I'm trying to work with is first in the list it gets merged properly and are sequenced in the 700's as they should.

Your formatting didn't come through and I'm having trouble visualizing what you're trying to do. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
