InstallAware

The company I work for uses both InstallAWARE Studio 9 and InstallShield 10.5.

We have built a Merge Module using InstallShield which contains COM components that require registration (DLL,EXE, & OCX). The registration is carried out by the merge module.

When we include this Merge Module in an InstallShield project the installer works properly.

When we include this merge module in an InstallAWARE project the resulting installer puts down the files but nothing is registered.

Is this supported in InstallAWARE? If so how do I make it work?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Colin,

in InstallAware Merge Modules can be added only in that way.

If with this do not work, you could try use "Database Import Wizard" (just Press F1 in IA ide for help).

"It inspects the contents of the database, extracts and/or copies files from inside the database and/or source media, and then emits a ready-to-build InstallAware setup, complete with a customizable script. The Database Import Wizard provides a very easy way to import existing Windows Installer databases into InstallAware."

... but the tool it is available with InstallAware Admin Studio version only.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
