Package Options

A merge module consists of a component such as a .dll file and its related files, resources, registry entries, and setup logic. To use the merge modules packaging option of Windows® Installer, Dialogic grouped features of the Brooktrout SDK into selectable modules that allow you to choose:

„The features you want to include in your package

„The location of the installed features

„The conditions governing when to install the features

This chapter helps you to understand your distribution options, how to implement them, and how to customize plug and play installation. Using this information to guide you, you can create an installation package that will help your customers successfully install Brooktrout Fax Software and hardware.
