I am attempting to author a merge module for use by multiple application installers to install a Win32 Shared SxS Assembly
and its associated
Policy. I'm using WiX 3.0 to generate the MSM
and test MSIs.
So far it works fine for the first app installer that runs … but the second app installer fails because the
Policy file already exists (HRESULT: 0x800700B7).
What requirement(s) for correct Win32 Shared SxS
Policy installation am I missing?
I have submitted WiX bug 3005301 for this (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=3005301&group_id=105970)
and posted VS2008 projects that reproduce the problem.
