When adding a Merge-Module to wxs without a ConfigurationData element an IndexOutOfBounds exception occurs at Line 4402 in Binder.cs (newval[1])
It's because the pairs[i].Split("=") returns only one empty value because the original configData was empty.

    Can you share some example authoring that demonstrates this bug? I'm not immediately seeing how the bad data got past the compiler.

    I'm not getting the exception on the command line. We are using Wix.Binder.Bind() to create the msi. There it will hang with an IndexOutOfBoundsException

    System.IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
    Message="Index was outside the bounds of the array."
    Source="wix"

    (..)

    Thank you Rob

    Okay, I figured this out. There are small differences in the .wixobjs and .wixouts when they are not saved to disk. This is one of those cases.
