Hi,

Is anyone using the 'Wise Windows Installer Project' action to compile a Merge Module?&nbsp; I have tried this but can't get it to work.&nbsp; 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".&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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&nbsp; /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.

-Mike

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.   
  
 Url: [https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/550/FB550\_501.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/550/FB550_501.exe)   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.
