Subject: Re: [WiX-users] define element for ProgramFilesFolder not working in include file :( Oh, I see that the properties are getting modularized: SetEALNBService.CA23A0DC_B2DE_4F2C_9E74_FD373F99E9D7 EALNBService.CA23A0DC_B2DE_4F2C_9E74_FD373F99E9D7 ProgramFilesFolder.CA23A0DC_B2DE_4F2C_9E74_FD373F99E9D7 There is a way to avoid that but I'm not familiar with the technique as I don't use merge modules myself. Perhaps somebody with more merge module experience can point us in the correct direction. Edwin G.
