Organize Your Setup View
Setup Types View
In the Setup Types view, you can configure the setup types that appear during the installation, the setup
type names, and the features that are associated with each setup type. Following is an explanation of
how these setup types are typically defined:
Table 24-8: Setup Types
Setup Type Description
Typical This setup type normally includes most, if not all, of a program’s features. For example, if
your setup includes multimedia tutorials, they would be included as part of the Typical
setup.
Minimal This setup type usually includes those features absolutely necessary in order for your
application to run. This setup type is designed for those people who have limited disk
space, such as notebook computers.
Custom This setup type allows your users to select which features they want to install. Of course,
those features that are required should be marked as such, thereby ensuring they are
always installed. However, features such as the online help may not need to be installed. In
these cases, the end user can select which of the unnecessary features to install.
When you select a setup type in the Setup Types view, the following setting is available:
Table 24-9: Setup Types
Setting Description
Description Enter a description for this setup type. The description is displayed to end users on the
Setup Type dialog.
To enter a multi-line description, use the \n escape sequence. For example, if you type
InstallShield\nExpress, the description in the Setup Types dialog appears as:
Upgrade Paths View
InstallShield
Express
In the Upgrade Paths view, you can indicate information specific to how you want your product to be
updated. For example, you can provide the upgrade code (product GUID), minimum and maximum
versions, language identifiers, and other information for any previous versions of your product for which
you want the current version to update.
You can also use the Upgrade Paths view to work around an issue that causes an assembly to be removed
from the global assembly cache (GAC) of the target system when a major upgrade is applied. For more
information, see Preventing the Removal of Assemblies from the Global Assembly Cache During
Upgrades.
