How to add merge modules (.msm) to an Install Script using Install shield application?

5.5k Views Asked by At

I am using Install Shield and I know that we can add the merge modules using the Redistributables menu item if it was a Basic MSI Project.

But I do not see the Redistributables menu item if it was InstallScript Project

Can some one help me out in figuring how to add merge modules if to an InstallScript Project using Install Shield ?

See the help topic: Adding Merge Modules and Objects to InstallScript Projects

AFAIK, InstallShield creates an MSI it calls the "merge module holder object". So basically a dummy MSI is created to contain the merge module's components and then it gets called by the InstallScript project.

IOW, I wouldn't want to do this. :)
