Well I can't do that because the merge modules come from a framework. Applications who use the framework can override certain files made available by the framework. Hence the requirement, anyways what I have is to install the files (the overridden ones) with "PP_" prefixed to the name. After InstallFiles, I run a custom action which recursively looks for files with PP_ prefix and then renames them to the actual file, renaming the actual file to have a prefix FW_. During uninstall I do the other way. For example MM installs file: test.html App installs file as: PP_test.html CA during install: Renames test.html to FW_test.html and PP_test.html to test.html CA during uninstall: Renames test.html to PP_test.html and FW_test.html to test.html ...
