If you have selected to include the Windows Installer engine in your setup, you have two options as to
where the installation will look for the setup for the engine:
Table 23-43: Windows Installer Location Panel Settings
Setting Description
Download engine from the
Web as specified below
Extract engine from
Setup.exe
Advanced Settings Panel
If the operating system has a version of the Windows Installer service that cannot be
updated by the installation, you can suppress the warning that is displayed to the end
user.
Select this check box to delay any reboot that may be required by the Windows Installer
engine installation until your installation has completed. Clear this check box to allow the
system to reboot immediately after installing or updating the Windows Installer engine, if
necessary.
If you want your installation to download the Windows Installer engine redistributables (if
necessary) from the URL that is specified, select this option. The default URLs (http://
www.installengine.com/Msiengine20 and http://www.installengine.com/Msiengine30)
are maintained by Flexera Software for your convenience.
The advantage in selecting this option is that it reduces the size of your installation;
however, the end user must have an Internet connection if the Windows Installer engine is
needed, and it may take time to download the engine’s installation.
If you want to compress the selected Windows Installer engine redistributable file or files
into Setup.exe, to be extracted at run time, if necessary, select this option.
Although selecting this option increases the size of the Setup.exe, the result may be a
quicker installation, since the engine does not need to be downloaded. In addition, this
option does not require an Internet connection.
There are two additional options available in the Advanced Settings panel:
Table 23-44: Advanced Settings Panel Settings
Setting Description
Optimize for media size If this option is selected, the size of the Setup.exe will be reduced. However, this takes
more time during the build process.
