When doing an installation on an end user's XP machine, the installation failed 
when 
trying to do something with the MS VC90 merge modules. We install the 
microsoft_vc90_crt_x86.msm, microsoft_vc90_mfc_x86.msm and corresponding policy 
merge modules. Here is the portion of the verbose log from the installation: 

We have no idea why the SxsInstallCA action is failing or any idea on steps to 
take to 
track it down since this is a Microsoft supplied component.
Does any one have any suggestions on how to find out why this is failing?
