Okay so you had 10 Merge Modules before and wanted to go down to one .wixlib? You'd have to create the duplication somewhere just like you were doing by duplicating the .wixlib into the 10 Merge Modules. You could compile the same .wixlib to 10 different outputs and use preprocessor or binder variables to differentiate them. That would basically be replicating the system you had with the Merge Modules (except it would probably build faster <smile/>).
