Hello folks.. How do I test whether the merge modules for the visual c++ redistributable are succesully installed on the machine ? I did uninstall the visual c++ redist runtime from the target machine and after installing my wix generated msi, seems like things are working well.. but just to confirm, where do these .msm files go? I can't see them in the folder I chose for installing my other files.. so do they get installed somehow as dll's on the target machine ? Can I verify that this has happened ?
I'm not even sure if I've put the merge modules in the right place in my .wxs file.. I would be very grateful if someone could verify the .wxs file .. I'm pasting it below .. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="*" Name="SolidFire Hardware Provider" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="SolidFire" UpgradeCode="0c60967f-f184-4b8b-a96a-b1caa4a8879e"> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" /> <Condition Message= "You need to be an administrator to install this product."> Privileged </Condition> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." /> <MediaTemplate EmbedCab='yes'/> <PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK45"/> <Condition Message="This application requires .NET Framework 4.5.
