Looks like the Merge Module doesn't pass validation and your install is
inheriting all those failures. You might try running smoke.exe on the MSM
before merging it into your MSI.
Some of the errors are pretty scary:
ICE27 is really a structural thing and could be very bad for your install. To
work around this, you might add the named actions to your
<InstallExecuteSequence> element to get the default sequence number. That way
the Merge Module will use the correct sequence number.
ICE77 looks like the custom action is scheduled incorrectly. I don't know
enough about that custom action to know what it might do to your install.
ICE99 this seems just wrong. Did you author that into your directory table or
did the Merge Module bring it in?
PS: Pretty unfortunate that you are picking up SelfReg from a merge module.
My experiences with installation have found SelfReg to have a high rate of
failures in the wild.

Subject: [WiX-users] Help with Flash merge module.
Hello again:
I'm looking for a little help integrating a merge module. I'm trying to
distribute the Adobe Flash player - and Adobe does distribute a merge module.
So I added a <Merge> tag inside a <Directory> and then added a <MergeRef> into
a <Feature> in my main installer.
Now I'm getting these errors:

What confuses me here (aside from the error messages) is that I have to put the
<Merge> element inside of one of my <Directory> elements. I mean I have no idea
whatsoever what files this merge module installs, and what directories it puts
them in. So why must I nest my reference to it in one of my <Directory> tags?
thanks for any assistance - I'm SO confused.
