I just installed the latest version of IA v8 and was trying out using installaware as part of Visual Studio 2008 (on Vista) - when I try and run Installaware after building my project, I get this error:

Created Windows Installer database

Error during build: Unable to merge Windows Installer database with module

What am I missing??

Also, the Menu item "InstallAware > Launch InstallAware" does nothing. How do I configure it to launch IA?

I've modified VS2008 to require launching as administrator (I think IA requires that it is launched as administrator?), but that has no effect from inside VS2008 (outside of VS it runs fine).
