I stuck comctl32.msm in an installer (comctl32.ocx merge module). On XP, comctl32.ocx appears in system32 and everything is happy. On vista, it does not work. Any guesses what I am doing wrong?
I also tried replacing the merge module with a <file>
and a lot of registry changes, in a component, but the file didn't move and the registry changes weren't made.
