I've successfully built an MSI that links in the VC Redist merge module.
However when I try to execute the MSI, it reports back errors associated with
the merge modules.
- Error reading from file [process' root path]\Windows\winsxs\Policies\....
Any ideas on how to resolve this? After quite a bit of digging, I've found a
blog post that helped me confirm my syntax.

Here's the gist of what I'm doing ...
<Wix ... >
<Package
InstallerVersion='200'
Platforms='x64'
...
/>
<Media Id='1' Cabinet='Product.cab' EmbedCab='yes' />
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Merge Id='VCRedist' Language='0' src='C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86_x64.msm' DiskId='1' />
<Merge Id='VCRedistPolicy' Language='0' src='C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86_x64.msm' DiskId='1' />
</Directory>
<Feature Id='VCRedistFeature' Title='VC Redist required for DFS Agent'
Level='1'>
<MergeRef Id='VCRedist' />
<MergeRef Id='VCRedistPolicy' />
</Feature>
</Product>
</Wix>
