"OTOH in this case just use the proper comdlg32 msm which will do everything properly and not break stuff (or at least if it does you can legitimately blame microsoft..)."
Now I am completely lost. What should I do in order to "just use the proper comdlg32 msm"? I know that msm files are merge modules but I do not need to use them. I am the only one who is creating this new installer. I tried tallow but it failed for some reason. What I am doing wrong?
