Can anyone point me to some docs that describe how to incorporate an MSM
into my Wix installer?
I would like to incorporate the vc8 redistributable package into my WIX
MSI, but I don't have a clue how to do that.
I'm not 100% certain that I'm doing it right, but I use:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Merge Id="VC8Runtime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="VC8Policy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCRuntime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCPolicy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
...
Then add as sub-features to my main program:
<Feature Id="VC8RuntimeFeature" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden">
<MergeRef Id="VC8Runtime"/>
<MergeRef Id="VC8Policy"/>
</Feature>
<Feature Id="MFCFeature" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden">
<MergeRef Id="MFCRuntime"/>
<MergeRef Id="MFCPolicy"/>
</Feature>
This causes ICE warnings about duplicate sequence numbers, but it seems they
are unavoidable and harmless.
