Adding Merge Modules in Direct Edit Mode

InstallShield 2016

When you add a configurable merge module or object in the Redistributables view to an .msi database in direct edit mode, the Merge Module Properties dialog box opens. You can review or configure the merge module’s properties through that dialog box. However, you can do this only when the merge module is initially merged with your installation database. That is when this dialog box is first opened. You should also note that a merge occurs as soon as you select a merge module in direct edit mode.

Note • You cannot configure or set the destination of dependent merge modules.

You cannot un-merge modules that are not found in the merge module catalog. For example, a file is not found in the Modules\i386 folder. In that case, the check box next to the respective merge module is selected but disabled.

Once you add, configure, and merge the merge modules, any files included in the merged modules will be copied to the source media upon saving the database in InstallShield.
