I think I remember problems with cygwin bash shell (or something like that)
messing with the load of mergemod.dll. Also, do make sure you have
mergemod.dll next to the rest of the tools... that *should* be that way but
good to check. <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-users] Light Exception with Merge Modules
I create MSIs through the use of merge modules. I have been using Wix version
2.0.3309 for a while now and have not had any problems generating the MSIs, I
have tried a few times to upgrade to later versions of Wix. I have tried 3719
and now 4820. With both the latter versions, The MSM generation looks fine, but
I get the following error during the final light phase when it attempts to
create the MSI from the MSM.
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with
CLSID {F94985D5-29F9-4743-9805-99BC3F35B678} failed due to the following error:
8007007e.
Exception Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Stack Trace:
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.MergeModules(String databasePat
h, Output output)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)
I think I have seen some prior posts about installing Orca and registering
mergemod.dll to fix this problem. I have done both and I can find the CLSID
above in the registry as a registered COM object. Still get this failure. What
else is needed to get this to work ?
Thanks for your responses,
