Hi,
We are currently using WIX 2 to build our MSI files. We are merging in the vc80
merge modules, apparently successfully. (Stuff runs :-)
While trying to upgrade to WIX 3, I noticed that the MSI files it produces are
a few megs bigger than the ones produced by WIX 2. But more critically, the
installed executables don't run any more. The "depends" (Dependency Walker)
tool from Sys Internals says it cannot open "MSVCR80.DLL" when looking at one
of my installed exes.
I've got verbose logs from installing packages built with wix 2 and wix 3, but
AFAICS they both claim to be trying to copy the DLL, and both refusing to
overwrite something with the same version:
(WIX 2)
MSI (s) (10:D4) [14:07:01:066]: Executing op:

MSI (s) (10:00) [13:57:04:183]: File:
C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll;
Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is of an equal
version
I'm merging in exactly the same msm files in both packages. The only suggestion
I could see from googling was that the <Merge> element should be inside the
outermost <Directory Id="TARGETDIR">, which it is in both cases.
Any suggestions? Is there anything else I could look for in the verbose logs?
Cheers,
Chris
