I have a number of Merge modules for my application that contain teh runtime files.

These only need to be installed once.

I want to use web medi blocks to allow the usre to download what they need and for verion 2 it would skip the run times.

How do I insert the merge modules inside a web medi block?

Use "database import" from the InstallAware programs menu and then take the script the database import wizard created copy the install files section and use it as an include script, add logic to check to see if the item you are installing already exists on the target machine at the beginning of the new include script.

Web block
