How ExpressBuild Groups Work
You can set options that control the behavior of Installation Expert.
Note
(Visual Studio integrated editor.) To display context-sensitive help, click the Wise Help
link on this dialog box.
To set options:
To set options for Installation Expert, select Tools menu > Options and click the
Installation Expert tab.
In Visual Studio: Tools menu > Options > Wise Options > Installation Expert.
Complete the tab.
View directories for all features on Files page
Mark this to display all directories on the Files or Visual Studio Solution page,
regardless of what feature the directory was created for.
Clear this to display only the directories that were created for the current feature
(the feature selected in the Current Feature drop-down list.) Example: If you
create a directory for FeatureA, and then use the Current Feature drop-down list
to go to FeatureB, you no longer see the directory you made for FeatureA.
This does not apply to the Web Files page.
View registry keys for all features on Registry page
Mark this to display all registry keys on the Registry page, regardless of what
feature the registry key was created for. This displays a composite view of all
registry keys created for all features. If this check box is not marked, only keys
created for the currently selected feature (in the Current Feature drop-down list)
are displayed.
Show merge module components
Mark this to view the files and registry entries from merge modules in Installation
Expert. You can only view merge module components in an .MSI. By default, these
items are hidden.
Listbox Compatibility Mode
If your computer has certain video drivers, you might have problems selecting items
from list boxes within Windows Installer Editor. If items that you select from list
boxes are continually misinterpreted by Windows Installer Editor, mark this check
box to eliminate list box problems.
