Overriding a Merge Module’s Destination

InstallShield 2015

Although you should not alter a third-party merge module, you can override the destination for an InstallShield-created merge module and some third-party merge modules.

Note: This procedure redirects only the TARGETDIR directory in the merge module, or directories that derive directly from TARGETDIR. If the merge module is configured to send files to a predefined folder (for example, SystemFolder), you cannot override the module’s destination.

To override a merge module’s destination:

1. In the View List under Application Data, click Redistributables.
2. Select the check box next to the merge module to add it to your installation.
3. Right-click the module and click Properties. The Merge Module Properties dialog box opens.
4. In the Destination box, type a destination or select one from the list of predefined destinations.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Conditional Installation pane, select the feature or features that should contain the merge module.
