WIX GUID question

[Kevin Koch]

The IFDEF CL_1400 sections of kfw-fixed.nsi try to copy the DLLs from
SYSTEMDIR instead of from c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS, where they actually are.

I'm curious why NSIS can't run vcredist_x86?

That is how the NSIS installer would do it but not the MSI.  For the MSI 
we use merge modules.
