See if this helps. It describes the issue. The summary seems to be that Microsoft didn't update the merge module but InstallShield did, so your safest approach is to use that InstallShield one (and you could use Orca if you really want to check that the file version there in the merge module is the corrected version).

Well, I found this site before, but this is the dll, and not the Merge Module - which I was looking for. I did find some GDI+ Merge Module for InstallShield, but are the InstallShield MergeModules the same as those used in WiX? http://www.installshield.com/downloads/modules.asp?prod=ISX&lan=english&; xmlUse=y Schrieken, Rene wrote: > > Isn't an merge module adding complexity? > Is it? As mentioned I'm new to WiX, but my impression was that it was best practice to always use the merge modules. Don't they make sure that the dlls are put in the appropriate system folders (GAC), and don't reinstall existing files etc? As you're mentioning the dll should be put in the install folder for Win2k, and not be installed at all for later systems (where it is installed by default..). So to put them in the installation folder I guess you shouldn't use merge modules - or should you? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/GDI%2B-MergeModule-tf4316091.html#a12290063 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
