Hello, My goal is to create a merge module where my module/package elements are defined in one .wxs file, and the module's directories/components in another. I currently have: ***MyModule.wxs*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <?include MyInclude.wxi ?> <Module Id='MyModule' Language='!(loc.Language)' Version='!(bind.FileVersion.MyLib)'>
<Package Id="$(var.MyModuleId)" Keywords="!(loc.Keywords)" Description="!(loc.MyModuleDesc) !(bind.FileVersion.MyLib)" Comments="!(loc.MyModuleComments)" Languages="!(loc.Language)" Manufacturer="!(loc.Manufacturer)" InstallerVersion="200" /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="MyComponents"/> </Module> </Wix> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***MyComponents.wxs*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <?include MyInclude.wxi ?> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> <Component Id="MyComponent1" Guid="{myguid}"> <File Id="MyFile1" ... /> </Component> ... </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <ComponentGroup Id="MyComponents"> <ComponentRef Id="MyComponent1"/> ... </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have another Wix project that consumes the merge module and generates an MSI. Everything compiles and the MSI runs, however none of my components in MyComponents.wxs are installed. If I get rid of MyComponents.wxs and use a single file, everything works: ***MyModule.wxs*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <?include MyInclude.wxi ?> <Module Id='MyModule' Language='!(loc.Language)' Version='!(bind.FileVersion.MyLib)'> <Package Id="$(var.MyModuleId)" Keywords="!(loc.Keywords)" Description="!(loc.MyModuleDesc) !(bind.FileVersion.MyLib)" Comments="!(loc.MyModuleComments)" Languages="!(loc.Language)" Manufacturer="!(loc.Manufacturer)" InstallerVersion="200" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> <Component Id="MyComponent1" Guid="{myguid}"> <File Id="MyFile1" ... /> </Component> ... </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Module> </Wix> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Am I perhaps referencing things in an incorrect manner?
