[wix-devs] Module formatting conversion

[Christopher Painter]

Quick test. In v3, the Package element is required to have Manufacturer attribute so compiling code will always end up creating a SummaryInformation element after conversion.  It will contain at least the Manufacturer attribute.

That said, in v4, removing the SummaryInformation element is allowed and it'll build an MSM with an empty Author in the summary information stream.

Before:
<Module Id="ProductName3MM" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0">
  <Package Id="491e5a50-c45d-4d3b-a0f8-5f8ff040d898" Manufacturer="ProductName3MM" />

After:
<Module Id="ProductName3MM" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Guid="491e5a50-c45d-4d3b-a0f8-5f8ff040d898">
  <SummaryInformation Manufacturer="ProductName3MM" />

I'd be happy to work with you today.  @chrpai on twitter.

>From what I've seen, if any of the attributes in the old element are non default values then that causes the new element to have to exist.  Otherwise it's omitted for simplicity.

I think I have found the main piece of code that I need:
ConvertModuleElement.
