Merge Module Details Page

Module Name

The complete name of your merge module. You can localize this value.

Company Name

The full name of your company. You can localize this value.

Comments

A more detailed description of the merge module. You can localize this value.

Module ID

Specify an identifier for the merge module. This string along with the module GUID, module language and module version will uniquely identify the merge module.

Module Version

The merge module's version.

A version string has the format "x.y.z" where x, y and z are numbers. Windows Installer actually allows 4 numbers in the string, but the last one is ignored when comparing versions. The maximum acceptable version string is "255.255.65535.65535". The following are examples of valid version strings: "3", "2.0", "2.11", "5.10.5".

Package Type

Select between 32-bit, 64-bit for Intel processors and 64-bit for AMD processors.

Module GUID

Specify a GUID for the merge module. It is used to uniquely identify the merge module. Use the [ Generate ] button to change it.

Normally there is no need to change this GUID. A possible case when you have to modify it is when you want to merge two different versions of a merge module into the same MSI.
