Dao 3.5 Windows

Merge Module Finder

Microsoft Data Access Objects 3.5 (MS DAO 3.5) Installer Post by syntax » Mon Jul 08, 2013 7:35 pm Was searching everywhere for this as I had an old program I was trying to.

Merge Module Finder is a freeware tool that searches the Merge Modules on your local machine for a specific file or registry key. It will list all modules containing the file your are looking for. It will also display all important resources like Classes, ProgId, Typelibs, Interfaces and dependend Modules. Merge Module finder can be added to the context menu in Windows Explorer, so you can easily right click a file to find all merge modules that include this file.

XML 4.0 SP2

You can download MSXML4MSMS.EXE from Microsoft to get ready-made merge modules for installing Microsoft XML Parser Version 4.0 Service Pack 2. It is available in several languages. Service Pack 2 is a complete replacement and security patch of MSXML 4.0 and MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 1; however, keep in mind that version 4 does not take the place of the XML Parser versions 3.0 and 2.0.

The download includes two merge modules (msxml4sys32.msm and msxml4sxs32.msm), both of which must be installed in your MSI for it to work. For more information see theMSXML 4.0 SP2 Release Notes.

MSXML4.MSM installs the RTM (supported, production quality) release of Microsoft XMLCore Services (MSXML) 4.0, formerly called the Microsoft XML Parser. The package alsoincludes a merge module for the XML SDK documentation. These merge modules require WindowsInstaller 2.0.

MSDE 2000

MSDE 2000 comes with 17 language neutral and 8 English merge modules. Most of them aredated August 6, 2000. MSDE is part of the SQL Server 2000 package.

Note: Microsoft no longer recommends the use of these merge modules. Quote: 'Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) SP3a provides merge modules to support existing applications that use merge modules. The Setup utilities for new applications should be written to call the MSDE 2000 Setup utility instead of directly consuming the MSDE 2000 merge modules.' The recommended method to redistribute MSDE 2000 is to run MSDE's setup.exe from a bootstrapper program before your actual installation starts.

There are several versions of MSDE 2000 merge modules (listed in chronological order):

• SQL Server 2000 CD includes MSDE merge modules which include several known bugs
• SQL server refresh CD (Nov 2000 - English) build 194.05 includes some bug fixes for the merge modules
• Knowledge base articles Q274224 and Q281184 include some hot fixes that became available after the refresh cd was released
• MSDE 2000 SP1 CD includes updated merge modules that will install MSDE on a machine without having to patch it
• MSDE 2000 SP3 download, includes fix for SQLSlammer worm
• MSDE 2000 SP3a download, includes various fixes and improvements

How to obtain MSDE 2000 SP3a:

• Download from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp

User Created Merge Modules

Notes to module authors:

• If you create your own merge module for third-party shared code, you must set the msidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount flag ('SharedLegacyFile' in VSI, 'Shared' property in IPWI) for the components appropriately, to ensure compatibility with other installers (MSI or legacy) that also install these files.
• Verify whether your license agreement allows you to publish merge modules that include third-party redistributable files. If it doesn't, you can publish your merge module project file instead.

MDAC

Microsoft

Microsoft doesn't provide a merge module for MDAC, but they have published a knowledge base article that explains how to create one yourself. The artcile also includes sample code.

Setup Tool Vendors

MDAC merge modules are included in the setup authoring tools from InstallShieldSoftware Corporation (InstallShield Developer, InstallShield Express, etc.) and WiseSolutions Inc. (Wise for Windows Installer, etc.)

InstallShield hascreated a merge module for MDAC 2.7. It is available in their MergeModule Gallery

User created MDAC modules

Here are two merge modules that install MDAC 2.6 SP1 and MDAC 2.7 RTM, respectively.They check the existing MDAC version and install only if the merge module version ishigher. The module fires the mdac_typ.exe right near the very end. (It installs your appfirst, then the MDAC and prompts for a reboot). The modules don't install Jet, but doinclude DCOM95 (as dependency, not physically). It installs only the English MDAC version.

The project files (for InstallShield Developer 7) and source code of the DLL that isused as custom action is included in a separate package.

Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

This merge module is a wrapper for iMMC.exe. It installs MMC 1.2 by running Microsoft'sredistributable. To reduce download size and avoid copyright problems, the following ziponly includes the ISWI project file required to build the merge module. You must obtain acopy of iMMC.exe yourself, e.g. from the Platform SDK (in custom setup selectRedistributable components -> Microsoft Management Console).

To build the merge module:

1. Open mmc.ism in the ISWI IDE
2. In Project view open the Path Variables pane
3. Adjust the value of MsiDir to the location where iMMC.exe is stored on your pc
4. Build the merge module

To use the merge module in your project:

1. Insert mmc.msm into your parent project.
2. You'll need to insert the following custom action to your parent project's Sequence/Execute sequence right before the 'PublishComponents' Event:
   InstallMMC.{guid}
   The custom action is exposed by the Merge Module.
3. You also need to install ATL.DLL, using Microsoft's merge module for it. Also, you may need to force a reboot after installing ATL.DLL and before running the custom action above. You'll know it if the MMC install fails (you can tell if it fails by the fact that MMC 1.2 will not be installed).

Microsoft SQL-DMO

SQL Server 7

This SQL-DMO Merge Module contains files necessary for applications built with SQLDistributed Management Objects. Libraries are also included for a base netlibrary setup,included named pipes, sockets, and multi-protocol. This merge module is best suited forclient machines that have neither the need nor the opportunity to install the SQL Server7.0 Client, but need the DMO functionality provided by SQL Server 7.0.

The Merge Module has been verified against Merge Module ICEs to verify that it iscorrectly written and compiled and that it will not impeed your product's installation ifyou are applying for the Windows Logo Requirements from Microsoft.

SQL Server 2000

This packages includes the .ism project file for InstallShield Windows InstallerEdition 2.03 to create a merge module for Microsoft SQL-DMO. It contains english languagestring resources (part of SQL-DMO) only, but international users could add non englishlanguage files easily. It was created for SQL Server 2000, but should also work for SQLServer 7 as the file names and destination directories are the same. The SQL-DMO objectsfor SQL Server 2000 break the SQL Server 7 tools (enterprise manager, etc). Therefore themerge module will only install DMO if it is not already installed. This module requiresMDAC 2.6 or above.

Note: the package only includes the InstallShield project file, not the actual mergemodule.

Update: only installs DMO if it's not already installed

Code sample for Wise for Windows Installer:

[$YourMainComponent] is the path that is returned from the path used by default foryour main component, like C:Program FilesYour CompanyYour Application
[#YourApplicationFileTableEntry] is the entry in the File table that corresponds to yourapplication file, like yourapp.exe.

Instructions for InstallShield for Windows Installer:

(Remark: Steps 1 - 5 are not specific to the Crystal Reports merge module)

1. Select the component with your main executable file, e.g. yourapp.exe.
2. Expand the tree view and select Files.
3. Make sure yourapp.exe is the key file for the component.
4. Expand the tree view under Advanced Settings select Application Paths.
