I'm working on breaking out some of my reuseable code into merge modules to make my setup creation easier. I'd like to put my variations into a configurable merge module and then select the variation at the time I add the module to my project.

I'm working in the merge module project, but can't figure out how to set my configuration options to make the module configurable.

Can someone help? I tried searching the Merge Module Authoring Help Library, but the only info I can find on configuration is setting configuration choices when you import a configurable merge module. I can't find anything on authoring my own.

Thanks in advance,
Dev.

Authoring configurable merge modules is only exposed in the direct editor. If you index in the MSI Help Library on 'configurable merge modules' you will see an in depth explanation of what types of settings you can make.

David,
Thanks for gettting back to me so quickly. I was pulled into another project and just got back to this. It's a bummer that I have to dive into the tables to create a configurable merge module.

I still have a copy of Wise for Windows Installer floating around from my last project. I'll use that to create my merge modules.

Thanks
Dev.
