Hmm, this line is very confusing to me: <CustomAction Id="Run_CustomAction.DDD8E6B5_8ADA_481F_B19D_55E2FFFAE621" Property="CustomAction.DDD8E6B5_8ADA_481F_B19D_55E2FFFAE621" Error="Merge Module Custom Action Failed" Return="check"/>
I don't know what that would do. Maybe it will try to set the value of a Property to nothing or maybe it'll show an Error message. I'm a little surprised it compiles. I'm so confused I'm not sure what to suggest.
