Hi Hovik ,

Someone correct me if I am wrong (installers are not really my cup of tea so I might be talking crap here), but AFAIK, MSM files cannot be installed.

MSM files are merge modules. From what I understand about this topic, merge modules are like a bunch of settings and file references for easy including in a setup. So, instead of manually adding loads of files required for ADO 2.8, you add a reference to a MSM file for ADO. This MSM file then knows what files to include in your setup, so your users can successfully install ADO when that's required.

Look here and here for more information. Especially this is interesting:
