Hello again. I had the opportunity to test this on a virtual machine, and including the SelfRegModules action solved the problem. Now it seems that everything is being registered.
About the 2008 runtime msi. It doesn't work for me because we're using the activex viewer from crystal XI and its not present in this version. Maybe we should upgrade to Crystal 12 to take advantage of the new runtime msi, but for now I think I have to stick with these merge modules. Thanks again for your help Richard.
