The only reason I asked is because the guid that suffixes the property names
is supposed to be the MSM's Package @Id, and there should be no reason that
your MSM is using another MSMs properties. However, that appears to be a red
herring (the "duplicate sequence number" warnings are expected in that
scenario). The purpose of the duplicate sequence warnings is to make you
look to ensure that there isn't any sequencing expectation between the
actions being merged. Setting the values of the system directories doesn't
generally have that concern.
The concern I see looking more closely at your build spew is the "action
[that] cannot be merged" report. Are the names of the actions really blank
('') or did you remove the action names? If you look at your MSM in Orca (or
other MSI viewer/editor), does it really have entries in the sequence tables
with blank or missing action names? Does your MSM pass validation by itself?

If you mean if I've used guids which are also used in the VC MSM, then no.
I've tested this by generating completely new guids for my merge module, and
still I got the warnings.
Thanks for the idea though, didn't think of this obvious error...

Did you borrow VC's MSM's package guid for your MSM?
