Build fails when building project with merge module

My build fails when I try to build a project that contains an merge module. Here's the output:

Creating CAB file(s)... done.
Creating MSI database... done.
Writing Summary Information... done.
Adding merge modules... error.
Exception - Reason: Could not open module: C:\...\BrssCom.msm.


Build finished because an error was encountered.
Any ideas? I'm using version 3.5.

Hi,

It might be possible that "BrssCom.msm" is not a Windows Installer merge module (it just has the MSM extension) or it is corrupted. You could determine if it is a merge module by opening it with Orca (which comes with Platform SDK).

In order to determine the cause of this problem, please send us the AIP file and the MSM file to support at advanced installer dot com.

Regards,
Denis

Denis,

Thanks for the reply. I've used this MSM file in a Visual Studio setup project before and have opened it in Orca. Both without problems. I will send you copies of the files.

Thanks!
