I would be interested in whether you are able to *remove* your application after having installed the VC libs via Merge Modules. I am seeing the UNinstallation take approximately 5 minutes (while the VC libs are being removed), with the dialog appearing to be 'hung'. Most users will give up and cancel the uninstallation before it completes. This of course is unacceptable.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using Microsoft CRT 8.0 and 9.0 merge modules in thesame MSI You can safely ignore them. They're caused by having either of the VC++ runtime merge modules consumed by your MSI. It's not an artifact of having both v8.0 & v9.0.

The reason is that some of the binaries I have to install (PostgreSQL) are built with Visual Studio 2005, and my own binaries are built with Visual Studio 2008. Everything must be installed easily with one installer, hence why I am handling the PostgreSQL install in my own installer. The problem is when I try and use the merge modules for both runtime libraries, I get the warnings listed at the bottom of this post. When I run the installer, all seems to go okay so maybe there isn't a problem, though the test machine is not currently clean so it might just seem okay. I'm going to wipe the test machine and give it another try, but either way I thought it prudent to check with others if there could be any potential issues, and to see if there is perhaps a better way of doing all of this. I did try just running the setup for the redistributable installs from my installer, but then I got errors about not being able to run multiple msi installs, etc.... Warnings listed below .. thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
