Windows Installer Editor Reference
Add CondFix.msm to an installation if you add a component condition that checks the
installed state of a component or feature.
The Windows Installer Editor installation places CondFix.msm in the default merge
modules directory, or you can download it with the Download Redistributables wizard.
This merge module appears on the Select Merge Module dialog box when you add a
merge module on the Merge Modules page. If you don't see it, you have marked the Do
not show merge modules from the Default Merge Module Directory check box in
Wise Options.
