Wise Windows Installer Project won't work with Merge Modules

Hi,

Is anyone using the 'Wise Windows Installer Project' action to compile a Merge Module?  I have tried this but can't get it to work.  The command that results from the action is incorrect:

"C:\Program Files\Altiris\Wise Installation Studio\Windows Installer Editor\WfWI.exe" /c /s /p ProductVersion=1.0.0.0 /o "c:\code\setups\Sntp_MergeModule\Sntp_MergeModule.wsm" c:\code\setups\Sntp_MergeModule\Sntp_MergeModule.wsm

There are two things wrong here:

1. The output file is specified as the .wsm project file; this should really be ".msm".  However, there is no place in the action dialog to specify this, and the action doesn't assume it based on the .wsm project type.

2. The parameter order is incorrect.  The .wsm project file should be specified immediately after WfWI.exe, or at least before the /o option.

To work around, I had to use the 'Execute Program' action with the following command line:

"C:\Program Files\Altiris\Wise Installation Studio\Windows Installer Editor\WfWI.exe" c:\code\setups\Sntp_MergeModule\Sntp_MergeModule.wsm /c /s /p ProductVersion=1.0.0.0  /o c:\code\setups\Sntp_MergeModule\Sntp_MergeModule.msm

(This format also works for the .wsi project types)

Am I doing something wrong, or does is the 'Wise Windows Installer Project' action not working properly?

I'm using WfWI 7.0.

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Here is a new build of FinalBuilder which fixes the order of the command line arguments and also allows you to specify the output location as a file or directory.
