[Gtk-sharp-list] Advice on Gtk# and WIX

[dabatla]

Thanks Libin, but I require gtksharp-2.12. I don't know if i'm missing
something but I only see a msi installer available. 

I was told that one should not(or cannot) launch more than one msi at the
same time? even if this is possible, what WIX action can one use to launch a
msi?

I looked at the post http://go-mono.com/forums/#nabble-td16301589 where Brad
refers to some wix merge modules that will be made available about a year
ago. Does anyone know if this realized? if so, where can I get them?
