It appears the Merge Module is adding a CustomAction to your install and doesn't like it when you choose to not install the file. You probably need to follow up with the vendor.

Here is what comes out of a verbose log: MSI (s) (B0:E8) [13:03:03:968]: Doing action: Action.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744 Action start 13:03:03: Action.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744. MSI (s) (B0:E8) [13:03:03:968]: Note: 1: 2753 2: hinst_msi.dll.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744 DEBUG: Error 2753: The File 'hinst_msi.dll.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744' is not marked for installation. MSI (s) (B0:E8) [13:03:06:484]: Product: ... -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753. The arguments are: hinst_msi.dll.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744, , Action ended 13:03:06: Action.A14EEF5D_58AF_4037_9330_DFC385C52744. Return value 3. It appears it is the Merge File. So, I guess the question is where can I put the Merge tag so it is only seen on the installation of the Feature? The MSI file is from another company. I use it to install the drivers for their hardware. I include the MSM in the Directory tag, but the MergeRef is in the Feature. So, why it is even trying to do anything with the MSM if the feature isn't selected? John > From: John D.
