I had so much hassle with the Business Objects merge modules I moved to using their MSI file and triggering it from a bootstrapper.
The Runtime MSI file can be found in the following locations (assuming you chose the default installation path): C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\CR .NET\Runtime Setup\CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi (for .NET 1.0 / 1.1) C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\CR .NET\.NET 2 Runtime Setup\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi (for .NET 2.0) Interestingly, the presence of similar MSI files in the Visual Studio SDK Bootstrapper folder (one is even identical in size) suggests that the MSI file is also used by VS generated setup projects. Hope this info is of interest.

So ... back to my previous question ... <grin> ... or have I found a bug [I mean another bug] in a 3rd party merge module ... ? The only merge modules in the package are from Microsoft [no weirdness in those as far as I can tell] and Business Objects [Crystal Reports 11.5 for VS2005] ... and the BO modules are known to be cr*p, they don't pass the validation tests [I'll supply a log if you really want it], and BO isn't planning on fixing them any time soon [if ever, but the latter is just my opinion ...] On the WiX side, I'm using v2.0.5213.0 because I can't even get the project to compile/link cleanly with v2.0.5325.0 ... unless I use the previous version of mergemod.dll ... Any suggestions on how to hunt for whatever is setting the Preselected property ... [or any other thoughts on how to get this working the way it should] ... ?
