[wix-users] Listing product in control panel

One MSI creates (at most) one entry in Add/Remove Programs.

If you want two Add/Remove Programs entries, you want two MSIs.

Subject: [wix-users] Listing product in control panel

Hi all,

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

How should i get entries for both products(name of *product1* and *product2*) separately in control panel entry?

Please note that these 2 exe files, which are inside msi file, always released together and *product2 *is dependent on* product1*

i need entry for product1 and product2 as well(which is requirement).
If i have one product.wxs file, i know how to manage. Should i use two product.wxs files. In that case how should we manage 2+1 product.wxs(one for each product and one for main) or if there is some other method, please do let me know

It would be really great, if some example is provided.

Regards,
Balachander
