RE: [GD-Windows] merge modules

[Gareth L. <GL...@cl...>]

Well, I've asked around in #winprog (Normally can get any windows related
question answered there), and the best I can get is..

<theForger> inany case, they aren't intended to be used that way, even if
it's "possible"

So I don't think you can do it. There is some dependancy on the .msi file.

An option is to create just a single msi file that wraps all your merge
module(s) and just execute that .msi from inside your installer. An option,
not a good one though.
