Creating A Merge Module As A New Installation - Symantec WINDOWS INSTALLER EDITOR 7.0 SP2 - REFERENCE FOR WISE INSTALLATION STUDIO V1.0 Installation Manual

Creating a Merge Module As a New Installation

Windows Installer Editor Reference
If you select one merge module, the Exclusion Module Details dialog box appears.
If you select multiple merge modules, they're listed on the Exclusions page. Double-
click a module name to open the Exclusion Module Details dialog box for a specific
merge module.
Fields are filled in with information extracted from the merge module.
3. Complete the dialog box:
Module ID
To specify a different merge module, click Browse.
Language ID
To specify a different language for the merge module to be excluded, change
the number in Language ID. (Example: Do this if the merge module you
selected includes a complete language group but you want to exclude one
language in this group only.) To ignore any language considerations, enter 0.
Min Version and Max Version
To exclude multiple versions of the same merge module, edit the Min Version
and Max Version fields to reflect the versions to exclude. If you leave these
fields blank, all versions of the merge module are excluded.
4. Click OK.
The merge module is added to the Exclusions page.
Note
The information on the Exclusion Module Details dialog box fills the ModuleExclusion
table, which you can see in Setup Editor > Tables tab. See ModuleExclusion Table in
the Windows Installer SDK Help.

You can create a merge module in much the same way that you create a new
installation.
(Visual Studio integrated editor.) Follow this procedure to create a merge module that is
not associated with a Visual Studio solution. Do this if you plan to create the merge
module and have it remain static. If it is part of a solution, it is continually rebuilt, so
creating it stand-alone makes it more stable.
You also can create a merge module that is part of a Visual Studio solution.
