I had already investigated that page and done some diagnostic output. When the msi of Product 1 already has installed the component of my merge-module and I install the msi of Product 2 which has the identical version of the merge-module, I receive INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL for the action and INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT for the current state. Why would WIX/MSI tell me that I need to reinstall a version of a component which is up to date?
