I've been reading some comments online recently about using 
REINSTALLMODE=amus when you're installer contains runtime merge modules. 
  The danger being that you can downgrade patched DLLs.  Doesn't each 
set of runtime files have it's own folder in the WinSxS folder?  Do 
patches for these files really change file contents without changing the 
version number?  Aren't security patches implemented by redirecting the 
loader to the new assemblies?  It seems strange having a system where 
the security of potentially hundreds of programs could be reduced by a 
command line typo.

Please note that I'm just concerned with the C runtime and Windows XP 
onwards.


Thanks,
Rob
