I have no experience with Installshield so I cannot comment on that. And if you
have a working merge module that will`save time but i really wonder what the
benefit is if it is not findable and does not work as intended.
This snippet might help you out. Disclaimer: I'm not good at conditions so
maybe someone on the list can check and correct me. And I didn't check if
GdiPlus.dll needs to be registered. If it does you need to add that as well,
you can use tallow or heat to obtain the registry markup.
<Component Id="C_gdiplus" DiskId="1" Guid="YourGuidHere">
<File Id="F_gdiplus" Name="GDIPLU_1.DLL" LongName="GdiPlus.dll"
Source="GdiPlus.dll" />
<Condition>
<![CDATA[(VersionNT=500) Or (NOT Version9X="") ]]>
</Condition>
</Component>
if you add the Component Id to your feature. I'm not sure if it is better to
have the condition on the feature. But there is sure someone who want to
educate me on that

Thanks. Well, I found this site before, but this is the dll, and not the
Merge Module - which I was looking for. I did find some GDI+ Merge Module
for InstallShield, but are the InstallShield MergeModules the same as those
used in WiX?

Is it? As mentioned I'm new to WiX, but my impression was that it was best
practice to always use the merge modules. Don't they make sure that the dlls
are put in the appropriate system folders (GAC), and don't reinstall
existing files etc? As you're mentioning the dll should be put in the
install folder for Win2k, and not be installed at all for later systems
(where it is installed by default..). So to put them in the installation
folder I guess you shouldn't use merge modules - or should you?
