Hello Rob, I actually don't think the logs will help because the actions are not present in the msi database when the vs merge is present. Let me try to describe it better:
I have a fully functional database, which uses a wise-made Merge Module. This merge must install some services, it uses some custom actions for it (i know there is a table for service installation and control, but this is a third party merge, and works with custom actions). Everything works fine but i have to first install the VS runtimes (i run vcredist_x86 prior to the msi database). Now, if i add the Merge Modules for the VS runtimes the lines to trigger the custom action are missing in the MSI database (i inspected it with orca). The custom actions (in the custom actions table) are OK, but the InstallExecuteSequence does not have the lines to trigger the action. So, in both cases the installation finishes successfully, there are no error in the logs. But if the merges for VS are installed, the service is not installed because the custom action does not exist in the InstallExecuteSequence Table. It seems to me as a problem during the Build of my setup. These two merges are third party, so i cannot modify any of them. Besides that there is nothing unusual to the Database. The workaround i am currently using is triggering the vcredist_x86 through the bootstrapper before running the setup. But i would prefer to have everything inside one MSI. The build process is the same, i just have to comment the lines for the VS merge modules and the result are OK. Uncomment and the sequence have missing lines. I don't if there is any info i can provide to make it clearer, but by the logs all we can see is that the setup finishes perfectly in both cases, but in the second there are fewer actions.

I checked with orca the InstallExecuteSequence, and when i add VSSP1 merge modules, some of the lines from my merge are missing.
