I have no experience with gdi+ but afaik it is just one download:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6a63ab9c-df12-4d41-933c-be590feaa05a&DisplayLang=en
 
For WinXP and up you shouldn't Install it, for Win2k and lower you should put 
the file in the same folder as your application exe.
 
As I read here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533798.aspx
under Runtime Requirements you also need to instruct the linker to do rebase 
magic.
 
Isn't an merge module adding complexity?

Subject: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule




Hi,
I have an MSI where I need to include gdiplus.dll to make it run on Win2k as
this is not included by default. I've read that there exists a MergeModule
for this file; can someone verify that this is correct? I've been googling
like crazy, but I can't find it. Can someone point me in the right
direction? Are there any sites with collections of "official" MergeModules I
should know of?

Also; I read that the merge module for GDI+ is broken - putting the
installed dll directly at the c: root instead of the system folder where it
should be put. If so; can I configure the merge module to put it in the
system folder instead?

Note that I'm new to WiX...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
