What if I need technical support with the Olympus SDK and my application?
Due to the nature of SDK's, it is not always possible to provide in-depth support. If you feel there is an error or omission in the Olympus SDK, please contact us we will research the issue. If you require technical assistance relating to the SDK and your application, Olympus may request or require a copy of your application and elements of your source code. Unless this can be provided it unlikely Olympus can provide assistance. Olympus cannot provide technical support for queries derived from lack of knowledge and / or development experience.

What is a merge module and why is it used?
Merge modules are basically a standard package to deliver Windows installer components (code, files and other resources); in one compound file. For example our Directrec merge module contains the following:
This greatly benefits the integrators as the can simply import the merge module into their installer. During their software installation our merge module will install the required components to use our devices.
