#1374 Error decompiling a merge module
I was attempting to dis-assemble a merge module that was created in InstallShield 11.5 Professional.
I got the following error from dark.exe.
I looked at the ProgId table but didn't see any obvious duplicates.
I have the MSM that caused the error. I can send it when needed. I can't attach it as it is too big and Tracker won't accept it.

Discussion
Can you attach a small sample that reproduces the problem?
The merge module had a conflict in the Class table: Two CLSIDs had identical ProgId_Defaults. Dark will now show a warning.
