Re: WIX GUID question

Kevin:

As was stated previously, the NSIS install would bundle vcredist_x86.exe

The MSI (WIX) installer would use the merge modules.

The IFDEF CL_1400 sections of kfw-fixed.nsi try to copy the DLLs from
SYSTEMDIR instead of from c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS, where they actually are.

I'm curious why NSIS can't run vcredist_x86?

You ship the redistributable vcredist_x86.exe which the client needs to install. Your installer can just run it.

That is how the NSIS installer would do it but not the MSI. For the MSI we use merge modules.
