Wise Package Studio Reference
If files in the captured installation depend on certain merge modules, the Download
Redistributables wizard appears. Use the Wise Web Site option to download those
merge modules, which should be pre-selected.
See Downloading Redistributable Files in the Windows Installer Editor Help.
If a file that is part of a merge module is added, the Files in Merge Modules dialog
box appears. It prompts you to add the merge module and, if necessary, download
it.

If a file that is used by a package in the Wise Software Repository is added, the Files
in Repository dialog box appears and prompts you to add a version of the file that is
in the repository. Because this repository check can slow the capture of large
applications, you can disable it by clearing the Enable checking of files against
Wise Software Repository check box in the General Settings of SetupCapture
Configuration.

Help.

Adding Merge Modules Instead of Files

The Files in Merge Modules dialog box appears when a file that is part of a merge
module is added to the repackaged installation. Typically, it appears after you add a file
to the Files page in Windows Installer Editor, or after a SetupCapture. The Files in Merge
Modules dialog box lets you add the merge module that contains the file instead of
adding the file.
Example:
The file olepro32.dll is part of a merge module named oleaut32.msm (Microsoft OLE
2.40). Because the file olepro32.dll is meant to function as part of a more
comprehensive merge module, it is better to add the merge module instead of the
individual file.
The merge module might contain other files, registry keys, and dependencies on other
merge modules. If it contains dependencies, the dependent merge modules are added
also. Other files and registry keys that are in the merge module are removed from the
installation to avoid duplication.
To add the merge module that contains the file
Mark the check boxes of merge modules to add. To see what dependent merge modules
will be added, expand the folders. Then click OK.
If the merge modules or their dependencies are not found, the Download
Redistributables wizard opens with the appropriate merge modules selected. When you
finish the download, the merge modules are added to the installation.
To add the file instead of the merge module
Clear the check boxes of all merge modules and click OK. Dependency merge modules
are not added if you clear the parent merge module's check box.
