I'm trying to use a merge module in my setup-project. But it seems like there are dependencies in it that require earlier versions of a couple of merge modules than I have (I've got VS2008).
I need these files from VS2005:
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm
Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm
Could anyone please point me to a place where I can download them or make a zip and upload to http://www.zshare.net/ and provide me with the link?
I'm sure they are shipped with Visual Studio 2005 Express as well, but I can't find where to download it either.

Merge modules are used to deliver shared code, files, resources, registry entries, and setup logic to applications as a single compound file.
Merge modules can be created using the “Blank Merge Module Project” option under “Create a New project” in the InstallShield Today view. You can create custom merge modules to insert into their projects, but custom objects cannot be created.
I don't believe the merge modules are distributed outside of Visual Studio, so you'll need to install that to have access to them. If Microsoft does not distribute these outside of VS, I would be wary of asking someone else to do so, as it may be violating their license agreement.
Once Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Express is installed, you'll be able to find the modules at:
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm
