The information in this article applies to:

BUG #: 351238 (SHILOH_BUGS)
SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine merge modules as an integrated part of a Windows Installer based custom setup, you may see build errors from setup authoring tools about unfulfilled merge module dependencies or about being unable to merge rows from the Directory table.
Here are error messages that occur with InstallShield 2.0:
- Error -4072: Merge module DMO1033.6496AA57_4ABB_4A5B_A0A9_E712ECFA8092:1033 not found.

CAUSE
Some of the SQL Server 2000 merge modules are language-neutral and require a language specific module to function properly. The ModuleDependency table of the language-neutral module requires a module with LangID of 1033, but the ModuleSignature of the required module has a LangID of 0, which results in the unfulfilled dependency.
This problem specifically affects the following merge modules:
- Sqlagent.msm
- Sem.msm
- Sqlsvr.msm
- Tools.msm
- Dts.msm
- Repl.msm
- Dmo.msm
The build errors regarding merging conflicts are a result of the the merge modules Connect.msm, Sqlbase.msm, and Sqlsvr.msm having entries in the Directory table that do not follow the merge module naming convention of appending the Module ID to the primary key.
