Scott,
Thanks a lot! This example code is better than I hoped for.
BTW to Rob: Do you think WiX could add a Wiki to their web site? I would love
to add snippets of code like this, and I think it would help others who need to
do similar things.
Thanks,
John

I'm not 100% certain that I'm doing it right, but I use:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Merge Id="VC8Runtime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="VC8Policy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCRuntime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCPolicy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge
Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
...
Then add as sub-features to my main program:
<Feature Id="VC8RuntimeFeature" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden">
<MergeRef Id="VC8Runtime"/>
<MergeRef Id="VC8Policy"/>
</Feature>
<Feature Id="MFCFeature" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no"
Display="hidden">
<MergeRef Id="MFCRuntime"/>
<MergeRef Id="MFCPolicy"/>
</Feature>
This causes ICE warnings about duplicate sequence numbers, but it seems they
are unavoidable and harmless.
