Merge Modules offer you the ability to distribute pieces of shared code without having to include the separate files in your setup. With a merge module, you create it once and then associate it with other setups without having to create registry entries, shortcuts, or file associations every time.

| Currently, InstallShield allows you to create only one merge module for each project. The ability to add additional modules and associate setup items with individual modules will be available in future versions.

A default module is created for you when you start a new project. This module is displayed under the Merge Modules folder when you click on the Project shortcut in the Workspace viewbar. To rename this module, right-click on its icon and select Rename.
