I posted last week with some issues I was having with Merge Modules and got
some suggestions, but it never really solved my issue.  So, maybe I am just
not using the correct way to skin this cat.  Here is what needs to be done:

 

Our software uses a hardlock key for protection.  We no longer use this type
key of key, but we need to optionally continue to install the drivers for
customers using the old key.  The manufacturer provides us with an msm file
to add to our msi.  I could also run a command line batch program to install
the drivers as well.  I want to give the user the Feature (option) of
installing these drivers if they are using the old type of key.  I was
originally using the msm file and had a Mergeref in the Feature.  I found
that if the user did not select the feature (which most won't), the
installer fails.  I have the Merge element under the INSTALLDIR Directory
(although no files are actually being installed there). 

 

So, what is the best way to go about installing these drivers only if the
Feature is selected?  Should I run a CustomAction and just fire off the
batch file?

 

Thanks Again,

 

John
