This is only the beginning of your pains. My recommendation is to switch to a major upgrade.

The reason for this is that the project is dependent on the Microsoft CRT libraries. Previously the library was included in the install as follows: <Merge Id="msvcrt" Language="1033" SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules\\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="msvcrt_policy" Language="1033" SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules\\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" /> Now this has been replaced with: <Merge Id="msvcrt" Language="1033" SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules\\Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="msvcrt_policy" Language="1033" SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules\\policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" /> The only change here being that the referenced merge modules have changed. Attempting to upgrade the package using the "REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL" switch succeeds but the new MS libraries are not installed. I believe this is because the components in the new merge modules were not previously present so no action is taken. Can anyone shed any light on this and suggest a way that I can author the install so that the upgrade will work.
