Thanks for the very detailed answer, Mike. I'll add a note to the tracker case you referenced. The other solution, which I already implemented, is to include the missing module in the product merge as well. It was slip on the original build-writer's part in the first place. I was just wonderi

If you're merging modules written in WiX, and those modules are not shipped separately to third parties, consider rewriting them as Fragments. You can precompile a fragment into a .wixout file and simply link those together. You can assemble one or more .wixout files into a larger chunk of function

Because you say "the App Pool did exist" I'm thinking you've got the idea that Installed applies to the App Pool, but it doesn't. Installed is a Windows Installer property that is set if the current MSI product (identified by its ProductCode guid) has been installed. If you want a condition to
