Hi All,

How to specify a condition to whether include or exclude a merge module in
the setup program?
I have different .msm files for help integration for VS2002, 2003 and 2005.
And want to run these .msm files conditonally , depending on which
version/versions for VS are present.
Any pointers on how to do this will be of great help.

Thanks,
Sajith

merge modules are actually mini-msi databases that get merged in to the
resultant msi. what you would want to do is assign those merge modules to 3
seperate sub features of a parent feature called help
so the feature tree would look like this
help
|-msm_vs2002
|
|-msm_vs2003
|
|-msm_vs2005

then your features would have a condition on them of say a property set by
and AppSearch

then when the user installed they would only get the version of vs

cheers
