To replace merge modules with merge modules on your computer by
specifying the merge module location
1.
On the Merge Module Sources page, select one or more merge modules to replace.

Select either a directory or a specific merge module:
On the Select Directory dialog box, select the directory that contains
replacement merge modules for all the merge modules you have selected and
click OK. Merge modules are matched by GUID, a unique identifier attached to
Windows Installer files, rather than by name. If the search is unsuccessful, a
dialog box lists the merge modules that were not found.
On the Choose Replacement Merge Module dialog box, specify the merge
module to replace the selected merge module. You must specify a merge
module whose GUID matches the GUID of the original merge module; otherwise
an error occurs.
The Source column on the Merge Module Sources page changes to Local to indicate
that a local merge module will be used instead of the merge module in the .MSI.

Click Change Path and select Search Module Directories.
A search of module directories is performed. Merge Module directories are defined in

column changes to Local to indicate that local merge modules will be used instead of
merge modules from the .MSI. If the search is unsuccessful, a dialog box lists the
merge modules that were not found.

Complete the MSI to WSI Conversion wizard.
During MSI to WSI Conversion, files are extracted from the .MSI to the default source
directory specified on the Welcome page. The source files are pulled from the source
directory when the .WSI is compiled. On the File Sources page, you can override the
default source directory for specific files.
