Because the file size of many of the redistributables is so large, some that are available for use in your
projects are not added to your computer when you install InstallShield. However, these redistributables
are still available for download from the Internet to your computer. In addition, a newer version of a
redistributable that you have on your computer may be available for download.
Configurable Merge Modules
A configurable redistributable is a merge module or an object that has at least one row in the
ModuleConfiguration table that is referenced by at least one row in the ModuleSubstitution table.
This enables you to change a value in the redistributable. When you select a configurable module in the
Redistributables view, the Merge Module Configurable Values dialog box is displayed to enable you to
configure the module at the time you add it. To customize the merge module later, right-click it and
select Configure merge module.
Working with the Redistributables View
The Redistributables view consists of the following elements:
• A row of buttons and other controls
• A group box area (below the row of buttons)
• A list of redistributables
• A details pane, which shows information about the selected redistributables
The following table describes all of the buttons and other controls that are displayed in the
Redistributables view.
