Ensure youve got the mfc42.msm from Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6. Also
check that there arent any bugs outstanding the VS merge modules have
been notorious for errors causing Windows File Protection to be invoked.
Check http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm for the latest
information (scroll down past the MSDE 2000 Merge Modules myriad issues). I
see here that mfc42.msm does indeed have a known problem use Orca to add
the required condition to the components.
All operating systems with Windows File Protection post-date Visual Studio
6.0, and in all of them, MFC 6.0s mfc42.dll has been a protected system
file. Theres no need to overwrite it and the only way it can be updated is
with an OS hotfix or service pack. If you still need to ship for Windows 9X
or Windows NT 4.0, then include the MSM.

Subject: [WiX-users] RE : RE : Reboot to replace files
I'm sorry, the exact error message is:
"The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file
c:\WINDOWS\System32\mfc42.dll because the file is protected by Windows. You
may need to update your operating system for this program to work correctly"
When the installation was done with a vb6 program, we called a method which
copy the file during next boot.
Is there similar solution with wix?

Objet : [WiX-users] RE : Reboot to replace files
Currently, I'm installing the merge module of mfc42.msm
During the installation, it says mfc42.dll is used and it can't replace it.
I can say cancel, ignore or retry so I don't think windows installer replace
it during next reboot.
Is there a way to ask windows installer to do this?
