Installing MSDE 2000 Merge Modules for Another Language

InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition

To install the MSDE 2000 merge module for another language:

1. Copy all of the required merge modules—including the *_RES.MSM modules—into Modules\i386.
2. When prompted to replace the .msm files already in that folder, click "Yes to All".

Required Merge Modules

These are the merge modules required for a given language:

CONNECT.MSM
DEV_SCM.MSM
DMO.MSM
DTC.MSM
DTS.MSM
REPL.MSM
SEM.MSM
SHARED.MSM
SQLAGENT.MSM
SQLBASE.MSM
SQLSVR.MSM
TOOLS.MSM
UPGRADE.MSM
DMO_RES.MSM
DTS_RES.MSM
REPL_RES.MSM
SEM_RES.MSM
SQLAGENT_RES.MSM
SQLBASE.MSM
SQLSVR_RES.MSM
TOOLS_RES.MSM

Caution: Follow these guidelines when installing MSDE 2000 for another language:

Do not delete the English-specific merge modules that the MSDE 2000 Object Wizard places in Modules\i386\0409. All of Microsoft's non-.res merge modules depend on the English version of the corresponding .res merge module. For example, the Italian REPL.MSM has a dependency on the English REPL_RES.MSM. A setup that does not contain the English REPL_RES.MSM might install correctly, but it will trigger build errors.
Do not use more than one set of MSDE 2000 modules at a time. They are not designed to support more than one language at a time.
