The product packaged in = the merge module=20 is intended for versions of Windows from Win2k and later but the merge = module=20 development has been done on WinXP. This error occurred while doing new development using Wix to create a = merge module to replace an installer package originally created using Wise for = Windows Installer v2.0. That version of Wise was abandoned when it was discovered that it was = not possible to=20 automate the msi build process using the Wise tools. The Windows = Installer v2.0 SDK and msi2xml tools were used to convert the wsi file to an msi file and = automate the=20 build process. Since the product is a shared component within the organization a = requirement was=20 generated to create a merge module in place of the installer package. = At this point Wix became available and was chosen as the tool set to build Windows based = installers and merge modules. dark.exe was used to decompile the original installer = file and portions=20 of this were used to create the Wix source for the merge module. =20 Both cab files in the installer file and the merge module contain the = same files. However merge module also includes the debug symbol files for the executables = in the cab file. Therefore the merge module cab file is larger of the two cab files. To date I am unaware of any problems merging the msm file or = installing the subsequent msi file. So the only Wix related issue I have seen thus far occurs = while using dark.exe to extract the cab file from a merge module created using candle.exe, = lit.exe and light.exe. Tomk.
