[wix-users] Packaging in wix

[balachander s]

Hi all,

For my project(say *MyWixInstaller*) as mentioned in previous conversation,
i need 2 installers to be installed(say *product1.exe* and *product2.exe*)
So i placed product1 and product2 in seperate merge modules inside product.
So only one entry of product is observed in control panel as
*MyWixInstaller. *

How should i get entries for both products separately in control panel?

But, i need entry for product1 and product2 as well(which is requirement).
