Yep, the SxsInstallCA and SxsUninstallCA custom actions weren't modularized (given distinct identifiers), so only one version will get picked up. This shouldn't be a problem as I believe they parse a custom table (SxsMsmGenComponents) which will be built correctly with data from both CRT and MFC modules. The string overflow errors are simply that the Visual Studio team made their identifiers too long - once modularized, they overflow the permitted length of the field (running validation would have shown this...)
If using the CRT and MFC merge modules, you need to merge their corresponding policy merge modules (i.e. policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm and policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm). These files force the Windows side-by-side assembly system to redirect from the (wrong) version number listed in the manifest created by Visual Studio to the version you're actually installing. I can't work out where the 'duplicate sequence number' errors have come from as SystemFolder.whatever are directory IDs, not actions. (Yes, the phrase 'litany of errors' could be used here.) -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Wieser Sent: 29 March 2007 17:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problems with MFC and CRT 8 Merge Modules I added this to my project file: <Merge Id='CRT80' Language='1033' SourceFile='c:\program files\common files\merge modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> <Merge Id='MFC80' Language='1033' SourceFile='c:\program files\common files\merge modules\Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> and then added this to my main feature: <MergeRef Id="CRT80" /> <MergeRef Id="MFC80" /> When I built with WiX, I got tons of ICE warnings as shown below.
