You're running that at install time? Interesting. I don't know anything
about that. You should follow up with the owner of the tool to see why
it fails when you run it.

I answered this exact question recently. My recommendation is to not do
that. Create a 3 Merge Module and make the other two dependent on it.
More expensive but you're more likely to maintain your sanity.

Unless you know for sure that aspnet_regiis.exe will return a zero exit code
you should change your custom action type to ignore exit code.

The built-in LockPermissions table (the Permission element in WiX) is
weak. Some might even call it lame. It checks for the user account in
the immediate mode. Of course, the user is created deferred so it
doesn't exist yet. Use Util:PermissionEx and that will work.
