Rob, I have posted a request on the Tablet PC developers forum. I hope this will start the ball rolling. I am open to any other suggestions.
When I suppressed the ICE99 message I got an ICE32 error message. So for now I am forcing the user to download and install the Tablet PC SDK 1.7. I am doing a FileSearch for Microsoft.Ink.dll if it is not installed on the system the install is terminated. It is not the way it should be, but it is the best I can do. Thank you for your help. My experience with WiX has been great so far. Regards, John, Jr. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 11:15 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules for Ink Edit You really do have to go after the people that created the Merge Module. However, it is very likely you can ignore most of those warnings/errors and I doubt they will bite you so you might suppress the errors and see how things go. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John McLean, Jr. Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 08:22 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules for Ink Edit Rob, Thanks for the help. I do not know if I am doing this correctly. I have searched for an update to Tablet PC 2005 Edition SDK 1.7 to correct the merge problem. I have not found any updates. We would like to be able to install on laptops that are just running Windows XP and the Tablet Edition. The other alternative is just install on Tablet PC and Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a list of warnings and errors that we are getting. Warning 1 The Directory table contains a row with primary key(s) 'DesktopFolder' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Tablet PC Platform SDK\msm\MSTPCRT.msm'. This is likely due to collision of rows with the same primary key(s) (but other different values in other columns) between the database and the merge module.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules for Ink Edit 1. The Merge Module should have shipped all of its required actions (MsiPublishAssemblies) but didn't. To work around the bug in their Merge Module add the following to your MSI: <AdvertiseExecuteSequence> <MsiPublishAssemblies/> </AdvertiseExecuteSequence> That will ensure your MSI gets the required action. 2. The Merge Module shipped a Directory that overlaps with the Windows Installer Property and that could have unforeseen side effects. Basically, the Merge Modules have given you a potential bug. You'll need to follow up with the providers of the Merge Modules to see if they have fixed the bugs. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John McLean, Jr. Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 16:45 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Merge Modules for Ink Edit Need a little help here.

ICE83: The MsiPublishAssemblies action must be present in AdvExecuteSequence Table.
