Where to get latest VC90 merge modules?
We've updated our InstallScript projects to install the latest VC90 CRT & ATL dlls (9.0.30729.4148), using the latest vcredist_x86.exe - no problem.
However, I can't find merge modules to update our MSI projects. I see following files under my installshield folder:
* Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86.msm
* Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm
These install the correct files, but are not the latest version.
I see the following under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules:
* Microsoft_VC90_ATL_x86_x64.msm
* Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86_x64.msm
These are the latest version, but don't install the correct files (they are the amd64_ versions).
I don't think I can use vcredist_x86 in our MSI as we need to deliver an .MSI file, not an .EXE.
Where can I get updated versions of the _x86.msm files?
Thanks...

I don't think there are any published .MSMs for Vs/2008SP1. I think the .exe is the only 'official' way to go, although you can extract vc_red.msi from the exe and use that.:rolleyes:

I believe if you install VS2008 SP1, it will install the updated merge modules. But the names are the same. Install VS2008 SP1 and check if you see the latest merge modules.

We had to uninstall & reinstall VS2008 with the redistributable component selected (we couldn't modify the existing install once we had installed SP1). Once we had the necessary components installed, you are correct - applying VS2008 SP1 and the ATL security update then updated the MSMs on the system so they stay up-to-date with the compiler.
