Organize Your Setup View
Advertised Select the appropriate advertisement option for this feature. Available options are:
• Allow Advertise—End users have the ability to select the advertisement option for
this feature in the Custom Setup dialog. Although advertisement is allowed, it is not
the default option when the installation is run.
• Favor Advertise—The feature is advertised by default. End users can change the
advertisement option for a feature in the Custom Setup dialog.
• Disallow Advertise—Select this option if you do not wish to allow advertising for
this feature. Your end users will not be able to choose to have a feature advertised
in the Custom Setup dialog.
• Disallow Advertise if not supported—Advertisement works only on systems with
Internet Explorer 4.01 or later. If the target system does not meet this criterion,
advertising is not allowed. If the target system can support advertisement,
advertising is allowed.
For more information, see Advertising Features.
Required Indicate whether the feature is required on the target system; if the feature is required,
end users cannot deselect it in the Custom Setup dialog.
Condition This setting indicates whether any conditions are set for this feature. To specify one or
more conditions, click the ellipsis button (...) in this setting. For more information, see
Setting Feature Conditions.
When you add a condition, InstallShield adds a new row to the grid of feature settings for
that condition.
To add a condition, or to edit or delete one of the existing conditions, click the ellipsis
button (...) in the Condition setting.
Comments Enter comments to help you track the changes you make to a feature, or for any future
reference. The feature’s comments are stored only in the project file and are not used in
the installation at any time.
REG File to Merge at Build If you want to merge a .reg file with the feature's registry entries at build time, enter the
complete path for the .reg file. As an alternative, you can click the ellipsis button (...) in
this setting to browse to the .reg file.
Key Name This read-only setting shows the Windows Installer key that is used to represent your
feature. You can use this key in custom actions to access the feature.
