Wise Package Studio Reference
Advertising
Specify the default setting for how this feature supports advertising. If a feature is
advertised, it is not installed, but it appears to be installed to the end user.
Example: the end user might see shortcuts or menu options for an advertised
feature, or the system might have certain entry points to the feature, such as a
registered file extension, that can start installation-on-demand of an advertised
feature.
None
By default, the feature is set to be installed, not advertised.
Favor Advertising
By default, the feature is set to be advertised.
Disallow Advertising
The feature is set to be installed, not advertised, and the end user cannot
change the default.
Note
Advertising is only supported on certain platforms. To suppress advertising on
unsupported platforms, mark Disable advertising if not supported by OS below.
See Platform Support of Advertisement in the Windows Installer SDK Help
Directory
To let end users select the directory for this feature, select a directory from this list.
When the end user selects this feature on the Select Feature dialog box during
installation, the Browse button becomes enabled so that they can select a new
directory. Child features of this feature inherit the new directory selected by the end
user. If you leave the directory set to <none>, then the files for this feature are
installed in the directory structure specified on the Files page in Windows Installer
Editor.
To ensure that two features always get installed to the same directory, select the
same option in Directory for both features.
If you let end users select directories for individual features, you must code your
application in such a way that it can locate the features wherever they might be
placed by the end user. To do this, you can call Windows Installer functions, such as
MsiGetComponentPath.
Note
Only the files that are in the directory you select or in its child directories will be
installed in the new directory that the end user selects. Example: Suppose FeatureA
installs File1 in the Sample\FeatureA\ directory and File2 in the Windows directory.
During installation, the end user specifies Sample\A\ for the new directory. Only
File1, which was originally in the FeatureA\ directory, is actually installed in the A\
directory. File2 is still installed in the Windows directory.
Required Feature
Mark this if the feature is required for installation. During installation, end users do
not have the option to deactivate installation of a required feature. If you select
Never install this feature in Level (above), it overrides this option.
Disable advertising if not supported by OS
Mark this to ignore any choices you've made in Advertising if the operating system
on the destination computer does not support advertising. See Platform Support of
Advertisement in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
