Hello.
First: the context: WiX v3.5, Windows 7 Enterprise
I'm intending to install the VC++ 9.0 redistributable from it's msm as
described in WiX's official documentation page [0]
Yet, even when my msi size augments in the same size as the msm and I can
see with Orca entrances related to the msm, I think it does not get
installed.
What I've done in my code is:
<!-- VC++ redistributable dependence -->
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Merge Id="VCRedist"
SourceFile="$(var.DependencesDir)Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1"
Language="0"/>
</DirectoryRef>
<Feature Id="VCRedist" Title="Visual C++ 9.0 Runtime" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden" Level="1">
<MergeRef Id="VCRedist"/>
</Feature>
The code compiles and throws some warnings as expected and detailed in the
documentation. It does however, throw some other errors[1] but I've searched
the web and found that these are also expected from using mergemod.dll[2]
Whenever installing, however, I can't find any evidence that the VC++
redistributable package has been installed. I don't find it in Add/Remove
programs. I don't find registry keys associated with it. Etc.
1. Is this the correct way to check?
2. What can I do if in fact, the package is not being installed? (I need
some hint on where to look now)
Thanks in advance.

Particularly:
*Duplicate* *sequence* *numbers* are not a problem as long as you don't
need *the*
order of *the* CustomActions to be consistent. *These* type 51
CustomActions'
order relative to each other shouldn't be important.
Also, this is not a light.exe issue. *The* behavior you are seeing is from
mergemod.dll provided by *the* Windows *Installer* SDK.
