Can you set "Merge Module Locations" programmatically?
In the Tools / Options / Merge Modules property sheet, there is a text box under "Merge Module Locations (Current User)" that contains the locations that will be searched for merge modules. Mine looks like this:
C:\InstallShield 2008 Projects\MergeModules,C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Modules\i386,C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Objects,C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Modules\i386\Japanese,C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Modules\i386\German,C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules
Is there any way to add another path programmatically, for example c:\program files\MyApp\merge modules?
Alternatively, is there a configuration file or similar for installshield that we could modify and access?
Basically, we have some merge module's that we ship as part of our product. We would like the user to be able to have these modules show up as available in their own local InstallShield IDE without having to browse to/add the path where we are installing those merge modules.
Thanks!

There are various ways to set this for builds (generally command line parameters), but if you're looking for programmatic access to the IDE's settings, perhaps just edit the registry? They should be stored somewhere under (HKCU or HKLM)\SOFTWARE\InstallShield\[version]\...

Cool. For IS2008 at least, it's at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InstallShield\14.0\Professional\Project Settings]
Value: MMSearchPath
Thanks Michael!

we can set the setup prerequisite file(.prq) for the installation project manually by
1. Go to installation designer Tab
2. under Application data select Redistributables
3. select setup prerequisite from object type to display combobox
4. select the appropriate checkbox to add .prq ( prerequisite) to your installation.
above mentioned is the manual process but I want to do it by automation interface.
can any body tell me whether there is automation interface is supported to set the Prerequisites for the project
we can create the object as:
CreateObject("IswiAuto1150.ISWiProject")
but i could not find any method to set prerequisite.

Hi Harendra,
You might have more luck by posting your question as a separate thread, since it's not related to the merge module question...

Go to the top level for a specific project (for Installshield 2008 it would be http://community.acresso.com/forumdisplay.php?f=223).
There should be a button that says "New Thread" near the top.
