Overriding a Merge Module’s Destination

InstallShield 2025 Express Edition

Although you should not alter a third-party merge module, you can override the destination for an InstallShield-created merge module and some third-party merge modules.

Note:This procedure redirects only the TARGETDIR directory in the merge module, or directories that derive directly from TARGETDIR. If the merge module is configured to send files to a predefined folder (for example, SystemFolder), you cannot override the module’s destination.

To override a merge module’s destination:

In the View List under Specify Application Data, click Redistributables.

Select the check box next to the merge module to add it to your installation.

Right-click the module and click Properties. The Merge Module Properties dialog box opens.

In the Destination box, type a destination or select one from the list of predefined destinations.

Click OK.

In the Conditional Installation pane, select the feature or features that should contain the merge module.
