Is anybody else using the VC++ merge modules that come with VS .NET 2003?
(e.g. VC_USER_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.MSM and his buddies)

I'm having trouble getting them to install the DLLs in the correct place. I whacked them into a Wise 4.2 project (along with the older VS .NET modules) and they install, but to the root of the drive not System32.

Took a look at them in Orca, they don't seem different to say VC_CRT.msm (for VC++ 7.0) but the older modules go straight into System32 while the newer ones aren't interested in anyhting but the root.

Well at least it's not just me then. I guess Microsoft will get round to shipping better-behaved merge modules eventually, or tell us how to get round the problem. Major pain in the rear end until then sad.gif

I have found a message in the microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi Newsgroup

So this is indeed a BUG, I hope it will be fixed soon.

Does anybody know if Microsoft has published a fix for this yet?

Hi!

I fixed this problem by modifying merge modules.
