A problem about merge module
I wanna release a install package with a msi file and a msm file. I did not wanna compile the msm into msi. When installing, installer will open the merge module and get file from it, then install them to the right place, automaticlly. Furthermore, if user change msm file, install can use the new merge module at next installation.
I just wanna if this design reasonable or not, Thanks!

Unfortunately, that is not how merge modules work. Merge modules are partial windows installer databases and to my knowledge, their only use is to be merged into an installation package so that you can distribute files in multiple projects without breaking the component rules for the Windows Installer. they cannot be "read" my an installation package.
