The merge modules coming out of DevDiv have traditionally been, erm, less than reliable.
For a list of some known faults in the VS6 merge modules, see http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hüseyin Tüfekçilerli Sent: 13 December 2007 19:34 To: Bryan C.

According to my research, as also Bob said, you can ignore the warning LGHT1056, I think it just tries to make msi author think twice before deploying into SystemFolder. In our case while merging modules like mscomctl, mscomct2, msvbvm6, etc. there is not any better directory then SystemFolder IMO. For error LGHT0204 : ICE03 situation, those merge modules are missing validation tables and we are getting those errors/warnings when we merge them into our MSIs. You can use EnsureTable (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_ensuretable.htm) tag in your wxs file under <Product /> to avoid those and let WiX to generate those tables for you. <EnsureTable Id="Class" /> <EnsureTable Id="Extension" /> .... ...
