Merge Modules
I'm trying to convert an installation from an old InstallShield. Included in that are a number of "Redistributals", for example one of them is the "Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0" and the path it points to is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\MSWINSCK.MSM.
I have absolutely no idea what to do with these (there are 6 different ones). The textual description that is shown says that "this redist pack contains the logic, files and registration information to install the Microsoft Winsock Control DLL.

Does anyone have any ideas how to handle these?

Thanks

Use msm2msi to convert them to MSI and install using msiexec.exe (there are probably examples for that in the wiki).
