Hello everybody,
I am upgrading an existing installer to use MSI technology.
The old installer was distributing and registering scrrun.dll, which is the Microsoft ® Script Runtime. Not sure that is the correct way of redistributing it, but I am going to change things anyway.
It looks like there is no merge module from Microsoft, so I had a search on google and found:
http://saturn.instal...truntimeenu.msm
Is this what I am looking for? I have tried opening the file and, although the File table is empty, I could find the string scrrun.dll embedded within one of the three rows in the Binary table. I am not exactly sure why it is there rather than in the file table and how it is used. Is this a valid merge module?
Also I am not exactly sure I can use this merge module. I am pretty confident in using merge modules from Microsoft, but I am not sure whether one needs a licence to use merge modules.
Can someone expand on these topics?
Thanks,
QD

Hi QD,
Take a look in the Binary table. You'll find scrrun.dll and vbscript.dll. There's also a VbscriptHelper binary which carries out the installation of these files.
