Well, A merge module is very similar in structure to an Installer package.
The major difference is that it doesn't contain everything a complete package
holds so that the component can't be installed by the Installer just by using
the merge module. The merge module contains the tables and binary information
used by the component that, when added to a full package, make it possible for
that package to install the component. Merge modules are delivered as files
with the extension .msm, but the internal structure of these files is the same
as for regular .msi Installer packages. That means that you can use the same
tools for editing merge modules that you use for editing Installer packages.
You can also merge 2 merge modules into a package -
