Hi Friedrich. Yes, that is very helpful. If there are existing merge modules that split up the VS redistributables into smaller parts, then we can use that. We can therefore just install the CRT msm for example, which wouldn't include ATL, etc. That is definitely the way to go when SetupBuilder 7 ships.

You haven't answered my questions about what I can do before SetupBuilder 7 ships. I need a working installer within a few weeks. Any ideas on what I can do with SetupBuilder 6 that achieves the same goal, without having to copy CRT private assemblies onto all folders that contain c/c++-based modules?

Alternatively, would you recommend shipping an installer built using the current SetupBuilder 7 Beta builds? I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how reliable it is so far.

Thanks for the very prompt responses by the way. I'm very impressed with LinderSoft's customer service.
