You can create a dummy MSI file that contains only this merge module and then install it by calling msiexec.exe. To call msiexec.exe, use Exec, ExecWait, ExecShell or the nsExec plug-in.

No, NSIS can not create MSIs. You can use the open-source WiX to do it.

According to this and this thread, you can actually install the MSM without it being contained in a MSI. Worth a shot...

didnt work. msiexec runs the msm file but it doesnt do anything. i think it's because in vs i need to put a keycode for it to compile i dont know how to do it now.
