Enter the paths where you store merge modules (.msm files). Separate additional paths
with a comma, as in the following example:
C:\MergeModules,C:\My Files\MergeModules
Note that you can use path variables in the path, as in the following example:
\Modules\i386,\MyCustomModules
You can also use environment variables in the path.
The All Users option is available if you want to run a command-line build under a system
account for which you cannot easily update the user settings.
InstallShield provides additional ways for specifying the folders that contain merge
modules. For more information, see Specifying the Directories that Contain Merge
Modules.
Note: In order to configure the All Users option, you must be running InstallShield with
administrative privileges. If you do not have administrative privileges, this option is
disabled. To learn more, see Launching InstallShield with vs. Without Administrative
Privileges.
When you add a file to your project, InstallShield searches the merge modules to see if
there is a module that contains that file and notifies you of any matches.
If the files must be the same version in order to be considered a match, select this check
box.
