The merge modules do not have the _Validation rows required for validation to succeed. You'll need to ensure the tables in the merge modules exist in your MSI file before the merging occurs. Add something like the following for each table reported below:

The project uses multiple merge modules obtained from InstallShield (as we use InstallShield X too). In particular, I am using the OLEAUT32.MSM, COMCAT.MSM and MSVBVM60.MSM merge modules (plus others, MSXML4, Common Controls etc). I am inserting the modules using: ... <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="MyLocation"> <Merge Id="COMCATMERGE" DiskId="1" SourceFile="C:\Merge Modules\COMCAT.MSM" Language="0" /> <Merge Id="OLEAUT32MERGE" DiskId="1" SourceFile="C:\Merge Modules\OLEAUT32.MSM" Language="0" /> <Merge Id="VB6SP6RUNTIMEMERGE" DiskId="1" SourceFile="C:\Merge Modules\MSVBVM60.MSM" Language="0" /> ... </Directory> ... <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Program Files" Level="1" InstallDefault="local" AllowAdvertise="no" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLDIR" TypicalDefault="install"> <MergeRef Id="OLEAUT32MERGE"/> <MergeRef Id="COMCATMERGE"/> <MergeRef Id="VB6SP6RUNTIMEMERGE"/> </Featue> Candle doesn't produce any errors.

Does this mean I cannot use old merge modules with Wix-3.0 since they are using an older database? Or have I done something terribly wrong!? Any response/help would be greatly appreciated.
