The MDAC merge module was a stub wrapper around MDAC_TYP.EXE. Some things
never change.
The ship vehicle for common controls was traditionally Internet Explorer. No
other way of shipping them was supported. I don't think there have been any
updates since Windows XP.
Merge modules generally get installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules [in Program Files (x86) on an x64 system].
Visual Studio 6.0 eventually provided merge modules which can be downloaded
from

they're a bit buggy - the bugs are documented at

Subject: [WiX-users] Merge Module source
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a free source of premade common merge modules build with
wix? I've been trying to us a couple of msm that came with install shield
while I learn wix, and they all end up with errors. I'm referring to msm for
thinks like mdac, common control libraries, etc,etc.
