AFAICT, it only complained about errors in merging _Validation.
I'm not sure whether I get the same errors (I would have to
check); those errors can safely be ignored. _Validation is
only used if you want to validate the MSI file, and I think it
complained because the data being merged are different than
the data that were already there. This, in turn, is because
the data already there are (or should be) the recommended values,
whereas the CRT msm deviates from Microsoft's recommended values
(IIRC).

I also see that it fails to add custom actions into
InstallExecuteSequence. I find that puzzling - apparently,
it tries to merge the twice. Are you sure you didn't run it
twice? It will certainly fail the second time.
