The new merge module opens. In Installation Expert, four page groups appear,
showing the pages that apply to merge modules.
10. Assemble the merge module by adding files, registry entries and so on using the
pages under the Details page group. Because merge modules cannot have multiple
features, you don't select a feature on these pages.
Note
The Files page includes an extra folder named Application. By default, files that you
add to this folder are copied to the default installation directory of the installation
into which the merge module is merged. Example: If you merge the merge module
into an installation that installs files to C:\Program Files\Product, all files you add to
the Application folder will also be installed to C:\Program Files\Product.
11. If you're creating a configurable merge module, specify which items can be modified
when the module is merged into an installation.
See Creating a Configurable Merge Module
