Updating the merge module code as you explained works perfectly. Thanks for
that!
I would like to further enhance this merge module such that if a user later
installs Act, then they run a Repair, it will install this component. I
suspect that this isn't possible as a Repair is simply repairing the
components that are already installed.
Or is there a way around this?

I think the problem is that the directory ACTPATH has a value regardless
of whether the RegistrySearch found something. The easiest way is
probably to have a duplicate RegistrySearch and use that property in the
component condition.
