I have the existing 5 merge module(.msm) files I have how can I call all 5 merge modules in newly created merge module(.msm) without using the MSI project. I know we need to merge with the MSI project only, but in my newly created merge module I do not want to use the MSI project. In merge module project only I need to call all the existing merge module without any dependency from the MSI project.

  • Merge modules are designed to be merged into MSI files. I am not aware of any possibility to use them without MSI files. WiX has the feature of "include files" - snippets of WiX components that can be included in many setups. That is the closest to what you ask that I can think of. It is sort of like a C++ include file. You just include the whole content of the file in another source file. – Stein Åsmul May 07 '21 at 17:26

You can't refer/include/embedded a merge module from another merge module.

Merge modules can only be included in an MSI.
