Q: 

Where are the redistributable merge modules for Visual Studio C++ Express edition?

I have created MSI installers for programs compiled with Visual C++ 2008 Express edition and Wix (Windows Installer Xml) before. I just needed to bring in the merge modules for the C++ runtime redistributables from c:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules*.msm. I expected the procedure would be similar with Visual C++ 2010 Express, but so far I have not been able to find the merge modules. Are they perhaps no longer in the Express edition? Is there a new preferred way to create a windows installer with Wix for my C++ application that includes the runtime redistributables?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice

A: 

The merge modules are not included with Visual C++ Express 2010. Sadness and despair.
