Thank you for the pointer. In the end, my server issue on vista turned 
out to be a problem with my application manifests. Things appear to be 
working now.

Just to make sure I understand the specifications, you recommend 
packaging both the core library assembly and the cache assembly in the 
same merge module. So therefore we should have 4 different versions of 
this merge module: x86 Debug, x86 Retail, x64 Debug and x64 Retail, 
correct? Following that logic, if we then create separate merge modules 
for both the command line tools and integrate logon, our build system 
should produce about 16 assemblies over 12 merge modules. Is this 
correct, or would some assemblies not require debug versions?

Thank you ,
Robert
