The msi has a custom action which is built using VC 2005. To execute the custom action on the target system, VC runtime files need to be installed.
I tried to package the redistributable merge modules (CRT, CRT.Policy, MFC, MFC.Policy) in the ism file by adding these msm files in the redistributable view.
My custom action is sequenced after 'install files' action.
When i install the package, the msi is unable to execute the custom action as the redist packages are not getting installed.
How should i add the redist packages?

That's not the best desgin for a custom action to have such a dependency. Try to avoid it if at all possible.
If you can't: Make sure your cuatom action is scheduled for deferred execution, not immediate. Or move it after InstallFinalize.
