Your client will be able to run the MSI from his MSI if he does so in the UI-sequence. It's not pretty, but it works. The other option sucks: when you also create a merge module, this involves loads of work for future versions, since you'll have to do everything twice. Also you need to make sure your merge module plays nice with your installer, if they may get installed on the same system. Your best option would be to start from scratch and build a configurable merge module (so your client is happy). Next your own install will just be an empty MSI containing your merge module and some dialogs. This way you'll only have to update your installation once, when you create a newer version. In any case: this will not be easy. Good luck! Peerke PS Wise can convert a feature to a merge module, but that's no use to you if you use InstallScript.

Hi Josh, Thanks for the reply... I understand your explanation, but the features are at the same level. Also, if one of the two features has ever been advertised on first install, the behavior is different, and things work as expected. Hope you can shed some light on this... Kind regards, René

Hey all, I've created 2 features in InstallShield 2008: - App - Help App contains a EXE and some DLL's with an advertised shortcut to the EXE. Help contains a HTML file (key path) and an advertised shortcut. Now, when I delete any file the feature NOT containing the file will not self-repair (as one would expect!). Now when I delete the CHM and the EXE, both features get repaired during self-repair. I would expect that only the feature I'm starting gets repaired. (This does work as expected when I advertise one of the features initially.. Could anyone explain this behaviour? Kind regards, René PS Free beer for any helpful answers 😉

Resuming is the correct text for the dialog (in the twisted mind of whoever came up with this name). The name of the Dialog is SetupResume. Regards, René
