Chapter 8: Organizing Files for Your Installation
Working with Setup Types
Task To rename a setup type:
1. Open the Setup Types view.
2. In the Setup Types explorer, right-click the setup type that you want to rename, and then click
Rename,
As an alternative, you can click the setup type and then press F2.
3. Type the new name for the setup type. This name is displayed during installation in the Setup Types
dialog.
Note: To provide an accelerator key for your setup type, include an ampersand (&) before a letter in the name. For
example, the name Cu&stom becomes the label Custom, and the end user can select its option button during setup by
pressing the S key. To set the ampersand symbol as an accelerator key, type &&.
Specifying Setup Types
Task To specify the setup types to include in your installation:
1. Open the Setup Types view.
2. In the Setup Types explorer, clear the check boxes for the setup types that you do not want
included in your installation.
3. Optionally, type a description in the Description property field. To enter a multi-line description,
use the \n escape sequence. For example, if you type InstallShield\nExpress Edition, the
description in the Setup Types dialog appears as:
InstallShield
Express Edition
Including Only One Setup Type in an Installation
If you want all of your end users to have the same files installed, you should include only the Typical
setup type in your project. Then when the installation runs, the Setup Type dialog is not displayed, and
the end user cannot choose which features should be installed. All features are installed.
Task To include only one setup type in an installation:
1. Open the Setup Types view.
2. In the Setup Types explorer, clear the Minimal and Custom check boxes.
