Thanks in advance for any help!
I have a 32 bit installer that needs to run on both 32bit and 64 bit machines.
The problem occurs when installing the current (security-fix) VS 2005 merge
modules provided by Microsoft (dated 5/14/2011).
-- The problem does not occur if I remove the merge modules.
-- The problem does not occur if I use either the original VS 2005 version
(dated 9/23/2005) or the VS 2005 sp1 (dated 7/12/2009).
-- The problem only occurs when installing on 64 bit machines, 32 bit machines
work fine.
-- If I install from the build location, the install works (i.e. when I use
light, it creates a Windows directory in my work directory, and if I install
from this directory, then the install works).
The error I get during the install is:
Error reading from file:
C:\downloads\Windows\winsxs\b2rg91xw.1p4\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86.cat.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.
-- Note that I am installing from C:\downloads in this failure case. And there
is not a Windows directory under it.
-- When installing from the build directory (as indicated above) this file
would exist (i.e. [build dir]\Windows does exist and this file is in it).
FYI -- The following snippets are the relevant lines from my wxs file to
install the merge module.
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Merge Id="VC80CRT" SourceFile="Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm"
DiskId="1" Language="0"/>
</DirectoryRef>
.....
<Feature Id="VC80CRT" Title="Visual C++ 8.0 Runtime" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden" Level="1">
<MergeRef Id="VC80CRT"/>
</Feature>

I have included the verbose log file of the failed install.
Thanks,
Carl
