The answers are still the same as they were last week when you asked this unless I've missed some massive Installation Development announcements recently.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstalling MSP removed shared files introduced by MSPs Hi, I has two product MSI setups, A.msi and B.msi. I add two new shared files installed to "Program Files\Common Files" through a merge module for both Product A service pack 1 and Product B service pack 1. I created A_sp1.msp and B_sp1.msp. I have A and B installed on one machine. I also applied A_sp1.msp and B_sp1.msp to the machine. The new shared files installed correctly. But when I uninstall A_sp1.msp, those 2 new shared files got removed. We thought those 2 new shared files should not be removed because they were added by a merge module and Product B and B_sp1.msp were still installed. Why merge modules behave different between MSI and MSP?
