What does the merge do? I can't find mention of it
in the docs.
It merges the msvcrt merge module into the installer (and then
monkey patches it, to revert the msm decision of setting
ALLUSERS). I tried to integrate it originally as a step
after creating the msi. Unfortunately, the merge object refused
to open the database, claiming that the file is in use (even
though I had closed it). Hence I need to processes. If you
can figure out how to combine them into one, again, that
would be much appreciated.
At the moment, I'm struggling to make it work at all :)
First, it relies on config.py whose existence msi.py
optionally ignores. I've created a dummy, based on the
settings in msi.py. Then I get a COM error, reproduced
below. I've got to go and do something else at the moment
but I'll look into it afterwards. I'll dump the traceback
here in case it rings any bells.
