Hi Bob,
The problem is that the exe that I am referencing is actually in the MSI

registry entries (i.e. basically just adding the registry keys for the exe's
type library information). If I just [#blah.exe] in the MSM, it s

Appears to be a bug in the ICE. The FontsFolder is supposed to be
modularlized and a CA is added to set it to the correct value during run
time. It's a goofy implementation, IMHO, but that is the design the MSI
team went with. Looks like they forgot that when writing ICE07.
