Correct. More generally, a merge module is a something like an MSI library (.a). It includes a set of files and snippets of an installation procedure for them. > Another option is to contact the Advanced Installer vendor and ask for a > free license for the Python Software Foundation.

The current technology works fine for me, and I understand it fully. Everybody in the world is able to build an installer today, also. However, I won't stop anybody else from working a switch to a different technology, either.
