I followed your suggestions and used "MergeMod.dll" via COM interop in my little repackaging tool. This works perfectly.
After the successful merge I still have to do a couple of steps to patch the resulting msi: 1. Extract the merge module's cab file 2. Insert the cab file into the "_Streams" table of the msi 3. Insert a record into the "Media" table of the msi using the appropriate "LastSequence" number Thanks a lot for your hints!
