Hi,
I recently built msm project (merge module), that install few dll’s and one executable file. The project is also installing the executable file as Windows NT service, so I define the executable file as a key file, so the service could load it on startup. The service name is defined in the “Display Name” property.
The second project is basic MSI project that is loading the Merge Module as redistributable file.
Is there any way of passing the name parameter (Display Name property) from the ISM project to the msm project? Every time I try to define the display Name property as a parameter, it’s just inserting it to the String table.
Thanks.

The DisplayName can be set by a property. So you could add a proeprty to the modules Propety tabel and use that as the DisplayName. The main msi will be able to see the same property, as the Property tables get merged at build time.
Note that the module GUID will be appended to the property name.
