Hi
I Have a MSM which I use in 2 differnet installations.
I want in to be installed under the TARGETDIR of each installation BUT in different sub folder.
This is what I did:
1. Add the MSM file to the MSI.
2. Create a Custom Folder in the MSI project.
3. On the MSM Properties I changed the MergeModule Properties-> Module Retargetable folder to be the new Custom Folder.
When I run the install it goes just fine BUT when i chnage the TARGETDIR from the default one to any other i get the following error message:
"A portation of the folder path" is invalid.it is either empty or exceeds the lenght allowed by the system".
Did anyone know what to do ???
Thanks a Lot

Inside the merge module, it will have a root folder.
All you need to do in your main msi is make sure that this root folder is in the directory table and give it a parent of the folder that you want. You then make the "DefaultDir" of ".".
