There are only three possible "solutions": 1) use a better MSM. Unfortunately there isn't one from MSFT at this time. Hopefully they will improve their MSMs over time. 2) use a bootstrapper that installs the runtime for you using their .exe file (vcredist*.exe) for the runtime. 3) live with these warnings.
#2 has the disadvantage that the runtime can be removed from the computer by the user independently of your application, which will most likely break your application. Some people suppress validation in light.exe and use smoke.exe to run validation separately, processing the warnings independently of their build results. -----Original Message----- From: Vova Froimchuk [mailto:vova.fr...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 6:45 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Linkage warnings when using CRT merge modules. My code is quite standard way to include merge files: * <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">* * <Merge Id="CRTredist" * * SourceFile="$(var.MergeModulesDir)\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" * * DiskId="1" Language="0"/>* * <Merge Id="CRTredistPolicy"* * SourceFile="$(var.MergeModulesDir)\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_crt_x86.msm"* * DiskId="1" Language="0"/> * * </DirectoryRef>* * * * <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Level="1"> * * <MergeRef Id="CRTredist" />* * <MergeRef Id="CRTredistPolicy" />* * </Feature>* I get like a hundred+ different warnings (which, well, worry me a bit, although the install seems to work.) The examples of warnings I get are as following: warning LGHT1055: The InstallExecuteSequence table contains an action 'SxsInstallCA' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_crt_x86.msm'. This action is likely colliding with an action in the database that is being created. The colliding action may have been authored in the database or merged in from another merge module. If this is a standard action, it is likely colliding due to a difference in the condition for the action in the database and merge module. If this is a custom action, it should only be declared in the database or one merge module. warning LGHT1055: The InstallExecuteSequence table contains an action 'SxsUninstallCA' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_microsoft_vc80_crt_x86.msm'. This action is likely colliding with an action in the database that is being created. The colliding action may have been authored in the database or merged in from another merge module. If this is a standard action, it is likely colliding due to a difference in the condition for the action in the database and merge module. If this is a custom action, it should only be declared in the database or one merge module. warning LGHT1076: ICE03: String overflow (greater than length permitted in column); Table: Component, Column: KeyPath, Key(s): downlevel_payload.8.0.50727.4053.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E warning LGHT1076: ICE30: The target file 'ansiatl.dll|ATL80.dll' might be installed in '[SystemFolder]' by two different conditionalized components on an LFN system: 'ansi_atl80.97F81AF1_0E47_DC99_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E' and 'nosxs.97F81AF1_0E47_DC99_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E'.
