Version of Windows Installer used...

Just doing some more testing and I have some merge modules from Crystal Reports that bring up an error saying 'Requires a MSI 1.1 Database'. Also, the MSI database validation reports that the version is 1.
Is there anyway of getting a newer MSI database/installer used?

InstallAWARE uses/requires/installs MSI version 2.0. The databases all include the additional tables that are available in version 2.0 and above.
I am not sure why you are getting this error. If you let me know where I can download the Crystal merge modules which are raising this error, I can investigate the issue further.

'Merge Modules for Crystal Reports 10 RDC Deployments' under

I'm using the runtime and reportengine MSMs.
It's odd as other Install creators I'm testing don't have a problem - only InstallAware.

Seems it is a known issue with the reportengine MSM:

I just spent 2 hours clawing my way through this...with no resolution, so I am very glad to hear the problem is not in InstallAWARE
Strange though, because you did explicitly mention that other tools worked fine with it
