That is all you should Ricky need assuming you're using the VC++ 7 merge
modules provided with Visual Studio 2003. Your convoluted directory
structure is totally unnecessary as the merge module is going to put the
files into the WinSXS area regardless of where you would like it to go.
You can't install those merge modules in an arbitrary directory even if
you want to.

Doesn't the merge module install the file to the Windows system folder?
If that's the case then you shouldn't need to install the file anywhere
else.
