not polssible to add a merge module inside another merge module

It does not seem possible to embed one merge module within another.
I had been able to do this with Visual Studio setups.
It means, for example, that if a component in my merge module has a dependency on say the Visual Studio Runtime, I cannot add the appropriate VS merge module to it. So my merge module is not 'self-contained' -anything that uses it has to remember to add the necessary prerequisites/launch conditions that it requires.
Is there a good reason for this restriction?

Re: not polssible to add a merge module inside another merge module

Hello,

We thaught there is no reason to add a MSM inside another MSM. For this you can simply add the two related MSMs directly into your installer projects which need to use them.

So, yo achieve what you need just make sure you add both of your MSMs in "Merge Module" page of your setup project.

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
