I have a solution that builds an .msi. That installer project depends on a merge module project which assembles various data files that need to be installed alongside the binaries.

I’m not seeing anything obvious in the project settings… how do I make the merge module package only if it has changed?

    I know, this is incredibly annoying. You can unload the merge module project (right-click it and select Unload Project), but that’s the only way I found to deal with it.
