The content is identical but the process is different. You can't rely on the VC merge modules in a custom action that uses the VC DLLs. As long as you don't try to do that, they'll install correctly and you can rely on them, outside the installation transaction. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
