You'd get better answers in an SMS forum.
Basically you need to check your client health, your MP ( Management Point )
health and validate that the DP ( distribution point ) has the updated package

Set ARPNOMODIFY to 1.

You might be conflicting with other installations of that Dll that are
using the official merge module VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm,
especially if you made up that component guid. Are all the files that
have the issue redistributables from Microsoft ?

Hi Phil,
No, not all files the error occurs for are even executables or dlls, it
actually occurs for every component in the setup, for example, the help
file component:
Component Id=Manual Guid=MY_GUID
File Id=MyProg_chm KeyPath=yes Name=MyProg.chm DiskId=1
Source=../Data/MyProg.chm
Aren't you supposed to put an actual GUID in where MY_GUID is in your
code? I mean, isn't MY_GUID just a placeholder to remind you to plug
in a valid GUID?

Hi Chad,
Sorry for the confusion, I edited that XML snippet and replaced the real
guid with MY_GUID, for easier reading. When the errors occur the Guids
are all real Guids.
I am having trouble finding out what MS actually means by 'register

Hi Phil,
Are you saying that lower case hex in the guids is not allowed? I
generally use guids generated using the PlatformSDK GuidGen.exe utility,
which produces guids with both uppercase and lowercase hex.

Have you investigated what could possibly be wrong with the XP machine
that it fails on? If it works on two systems then I doubt that there is
anything wrong with the installer or it would consistently fail on all
machines you try it on. The installer is trying to register the

Correct. Windows Installer component GUIDs must be all upper case.
Unfortunate, but true.
GuidGen is unreliable for this.

WiX uppercases all GUIDs in the compiler. There is/was a weakness that
if you use !(loc) strings for GUIDs, they wouldn't get that massaging,
