No and if they followed my recommendation they might never do so because they 
have to share with people that do not use WiX v3.  If they chose to ship 
.wixlibs, they'd still have to ship Merge Modules for everyone else.

Hi Rob,

In the closing paragraph you wrote,

"These days I always recommend that if you are sharing setup logic and
files with people also using WiX v3, skip Merge Modules and just use
binary .wixlibs."

Are there wixlibs available for the Microsoft redistributables  - e.g.
vc runtimes, msxml, etc?
If yes, where?
If no, when?

Thanks

Jon
