"Merge modules are generally now considered bad practice..." 
If this is true than what is the point of the whole MSI system? I mean if I 
have a 3rd party component (x.dll) that 4th party and 5th party are using too, 
how does the system decide that the x.dll component installed by the 4th 
party's installer and the x.dll component installed by the 5th party's 
installer are the same and how does it make sure that upon un-install it is 
only un-installed if both (all) products are un-installed and that it IS 
un-installed if both (all) products are un-installed? I'm thinking of a "common 
file" placed under say "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\3rd Party\x.dll"...
