The Merge Module is dependent on the ibclient.msm, which must also be merged into an installation script when is merged. Note that tools such as Installshield Express 3 automatically detect and resolve this dependency.

 Installation Procedures

When merged into a installation script, the ibtools.msm Merge Module adds the following functionality:

  1. The files are copied into the "bin" subdirectory of the Interbase folder.
