InstallAnywhere 2020 SP1
When you are adding an Install Merge Module action to your installation project, you need to specify which variables in the merge module can be set by the parent installer and which variables in the parent installer can be set by the merge module. You do this on the Edit Advertised Variables dialog box, which opens when you click Edit Variables on the customizer of an Install Merge Module action in the Install view of the Sequence page.
Advertised variables are used to inform the parent installer of settings required for a merge module’s configuration, and to return information—such as status or return codes—back to the parent installer. Advertised variables must be set before a merge module can be installed.
The Edit Advertised Variables dialog box includes the following options:
