Publishing a Merge Module to a Repository from Within a Merge Module Project
InstallShield 2018
If you are designing a merge module that you would like to reuse in Windows Installer–based installations or share with other users, you can publish it to a repository. InstallShield enables you to configure a release for the merge module so that the merge module is published to a repository whenever the release is built.
To configure the settings for publishing a merge module to a repository from within the merge module project:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Media, click Releases. |
|
2.
|
In the Releases explorer, click the release that you would like to configure. |
|
4.
|
In the Publish Merge Module setting, select the Publish to repository option. |
|
5.
|
In the Repository Name setting, select the appropriate repository. All of the repositories to which you have access are listed in this setting. |
|
6.
|
In the Display Name setting, specify a name for the merge module that you are publishing to the repository. This name is displayed for the merge module in the Redistributables view. |
|
7.
|
In the Publisher setting, type your name. |
|
8.
|
In the Description setting, type a description of the merge module. |
Whenever you build the selected release, InstallShield publishes the merge module to the specified repository.
Merge modules are built into an installation at build time. If you make a change to a repository merge module and then republish it to the repository, any project that has the old version of the repository merge module will be updated the next time that a release of the project’s installation is rebuilt.
