Sadly (and Rob M has commented on this several times) the VB Team seem
to feel that generating "correct" merge modules is not a priority. (For
them, perhaps it's not, but for those of us who live in the real world
where VB6 applications are still very much in use it does make things
challenging.)
Personally, for the few VB6 projects I have under WiX, I make the
inclusion of the merge modules conditional build and validate (run
smoke) without them, then build again including them but turn off the
validation. Yup, it's ugly. Yup, I don't want to turn off validation.
Sometimes you just have to do what you can.
Regards,
Richard

yes, that is precisely the source of the merge modules I describe in my
original post. thanks.
since that post, I have tried running smoke.exe on a few of those merge
modules, which results in all the errors I am seeing in my build. I take
that to mean that the modules are somehow 'bad'. Can anyone explain why?
