Merge Module(.msm)
How do I install merge module(.msm) from NSIS? It seems that merge module can only be merged into .msi, so I'm wondering is there any way to solve this problem in NSIS?

Thank you.

MSM merge modules are a part of MSI. You will have to call the MSI if you don't want to convert it to NSIS script code.

But it would become two programs though(If executing MSI from .nsi).

Then what should I do to convert it to NSIS scripts?

Thanks.

NSIS is not Windows Installer based. You should read the manual for information about using NSIS to create installers.

In your previous post, you mentioned that "if you don't want to convert it to NSIS script code".
This "If" sentence makes me feel like there's a way to convert MSI to NSIS script although I know NSIS is not a windows based installer. It seems that I misunderstood the meaning.

Thus in this case, calling MSI would be the only solution?

Thanks again.

It would be the easiest solution. There is no automatic method to convert MSM/MSI to NSIS scripts at the moment. It might be possible to do this manually using msi2xml or a similar program.
