MSI merge module from the full MSI package

Can I reliably create a merge module from a regular MSI package such as MySQL to combine with my own installation? WiX has the right tools for this, but what pitfalls should I expect from such a transfer? What are the alternatives for installing other MSI packages from my own package?

If you have InstallShield, a popular way to do this is to create an InstallScript-based boot script that invokes MSI files.

One of the problems associated with trying to take MSI and create MSM is that MSM does not have error tables, so any error lines that you expect to be referenced from your custom MSI actions will not exist.
