What would it take to make the PG installer into a merge module?  I
don't have the stuff to build PG so I can't build the PG install,
though I do have Wix.  It would make my life (and anyone else using PG
for a specific app) a lot easier if you guys would allow us to embed
the PG install in our own install.  This would let us just pass in the
setup info for the app and let PG install mostly silently. For my app,
the only thing the user needs to see from PG is the license which is
different from the commercial license on the rest of the product. The
rest I can configure from the main install.  Right now the end user has
to configure things right and follow directions, and that leads to tech
support issues when they screw up.  I tried using the silent install
option on the main MSI and got all sorts of problems.  (Besides, many
Win2k setups with their old MSIexec don't even support a silent
install.)
