Yes Ric,

If I select the "system" folder as the destination for that particular merge module, it does go in the correct place. It is odd because in IS Express, the default worked correctly. After an "upgrade" to full IS Dev 8, the default destination did not work (and my installs were failing on Win2000 and XP machines).

It is ending up in the root directory, which is causing an error on Win2K machines that can't find the needed library. Manually moving it to the Win-NT\System32 folder solves it. Win98 machines don't seem to mind the c:\ location.

IS help cautions against making changes: ""Specifies the destination of the merge module's files. It is recommended you use the default setting “(Use merge module's default destination)”.
