Condition and merge module !!!
Hi everybody,
I have a basic msi project who install some dll and msde 2000 (merge module).
Now, some people ask me 😞 to do some condition on the merge module for supported windows vista and give a choice to the user who install our product !
when someone install our product, we d like to display an option for some operating system :
win 2000 => only installed msde 2000
win xp => have the choice to install msde or mssql 2005 express
win 2003 => have th choice to install msde or mssql 2005 expres
win vista => onlyi mssql 2005 expres
Now is it possible to do this ?!
I've look on merge module on installshield 14 (2008) and i haven't see the merge module mssql serveur 2005 express ?!
where i can put condition for merge module ? for the component there is an option but for the merge module where is this option ?!
Thanks for all comments and suggests !

There are no plans to release SQL Server 2005 in a merge module format from Microsoft or InstallShield that I know of.
You may want to use prerequisites for this or provide some alternative interface.

Hi bryan,
thanks for your reply..
i m very surprised that there is no merge module for sql serveur express 2005 !
but is it possible with the *.exe of sql serveur to do a merge module and include on my project and install it !?
what is the difference beetween the merge module and setup prerequisite ?
is it right ?
merge module : is include on the main project
setup prerrequisite : can be download while the product is installing
Thanks for your time
