Chapter 4: Basic Tutorial
Specify Application Data
The next step in organizing your installation is to create features. These features are used to install files
and data at run time. InstallShield automatically creates one feature for you: Always Install. This is the
only required feature for this project. However, you need to configure it.
Task To configure the Always Install feature:
1. In the View List under Organize Your Setup, click Features.
2. In the Description setting, enter:
The executable for the Othello game.
3. In the Required setting, select Yes.
4. In the Visible setting, select Not Visible.
5. In the Advertised setting, select Disallow Advertise.
6. In the Comments setting, enter:
This is the only feature.
Setup Types
In the Setup Types view, you can configure the setup types that the end user can choose from during
installation. For this installation, you need only one installation type.
Task To configure the setup types:
1. In the View List under Organize Your Setup, click Setup Types.
2. Select the &Typical check box.
3. Clear the Minimal and Custom check boxes.
Note: For this tutorial, you can ignore the remaining views in this step because they are irrelevant to this project. For your
own projects, you may want to explore these views to see if you need to use them.
Specify Application Data
The next step in configuring this basic setup is to specify application data. For purposes of this tutorial,
this involves adding files to the already-defined feature.
