creating a setup project that contain a merge module msm

Hi,
Idevelopped an application that's include as feature ink-enabled so the user can intercat with the computer as a if he is using a paper so when I folllow the microsoft link about distribution of this type of project (please take a look at this linkhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms701189(VS.85).aspx )
I can't understand this folowing thinks how can add the merge module and how can I use this two functionality described here :
"NoteYou must add SelfRegModules Action and SelfUnregModules Action actions to the installation sequence. The MsiPublishAssemblies Action and MsiUnpublishAssemblies Action actions receive their order in the installation sequence from these actions."
any help will be very appreciated...

They're assuming you're using a (how do I say this?) "real" setup builder that exposes the inner details of how Windows Installer works. In this case I don't think you need to worry - I just looked at the InstallExecuteSequence of a VS 2008 setup project's MSI file with Orca and it already contains SelfRegModules and SelfUnregModules.
