Publishing a Merge Module to a Repository from Within an Installation Project

InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI

If you have an existing merge module that you would like to reuse in Windows Installer–based installation projects or share with other users, you can publish it to a repository.

To publish a merge module to a repository when you are working on a Windows Installer–based installation project:

1. In the View List under Application Data, click Redistributables.
2. Right-click the merge module and then click Publish Wizard. The Publish Wizard opens.
3. Complete the panels in the Publish Wizard.

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.
