IMHO, if a merge module requires certain actions it should include them itself (it has that capability). Alternately, the author of the merge module could document which actions it requires.
Some authoring systems put in all possible "standard" actions by default. Wix takes a more minimal approach (which leads to faster/leaner install packages). -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 6:55 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence and merge modules I have third party merge module and I found that I need to add elements to the <InstallExecuteSequence> to get it to install properly e.g.: <InstallExecuteSequence> <SelfUnregModules Sequence="2200" /> <SelfRegModules Sequence="5600" /> <MsiPublishAssemblies /> <MsiUnpublishAssemblies /> <InstallFiles /> <RemoveFiles /> <WriteRegistryValues /> <RemoveRegistryValues /> <ProcessComponents /> <RemoveEnvironmentStrings /> <WriteEnvironmentStrings /> <RegisterClassInfo /> <UnregisterClassInfo /> <RegisterProgIdInfo /> <UnregisterProgIdInfo /> <RegisterExtensionInfo /> <UnregisterExtensionInfo /> <RegisterMIMEInfo /> <UnregisterMIMEInfo /> </InstallExecuteSequence> I did this by trial and error but is there any way to "know" which elements to add by looking at the merge module?
