Setting Merge Module Details
Available in merge module files (.WSM, .MSM) only.
Use the Module Details page to specify the name, version, language, and type of a
merge module. Windows Installer uses this information to identify the merge module.
To set merge module details
1.
Select Installation Expert > Module Details page.
If there is no Module Details page, you are not in a merge module file.
2.
Complete the page:
Module Name
Enter a name that Windows Installer and Windows Installer Editor can use
internally to identify the merge module.
Version
Enter the version of the module. Windows Installer and Windows Installer Editor
use this number to check versions of dependency and exclusion merge
modules. You can use the format xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx, where x is a digit.
See Version in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
Language
Enter the language ID for the merge module. English is 1033. Language neutral
(meaning the merge module works with all languages) is 0.
See
Language IDs
Module Type
Select the module type. This defaults to the Default Application Type that is
specified in Wise Options.

Setting .NET Assembly Options
Note
The ability to create .NET installations is supported only by Windows Installer
2.0 or later.
