System Configuration View

The System Configuration view provides you with the ability to add additional files to a Windows Installer
installation package, as well as add, remove, or modify shortcuts and registry information. Ultimately, this allows
you to customize the installation to your needs, such as including company-specific templates in the correct folder
during installation.

Description
This description will be displayed when this feature is clicked in the Custom Setup dialog
box during installation.
Specifies how the feature will be presented to the end user during installation in the Custom
Setup dialog. The following options are available:
•
Visible and Collapsed—This feature will be displayed in the Custom Setup dialog
with its subfeatures collapsed by default.
•
Visible and Expanded—This feature will be displayed in the Custom Setup dialog
with its subfeatures expanded by default.
•
Not Visible—This feature will not be displayed to the end user in the Custom Setup
dialog.
Although an end user obviously cannot select or deselect an invisible feature, this
property does not affect whether a feature is installed. In other words, a feature is not
automatically installed if it is invisible; it just cannot be deselected if it would otherwise
be installed, or selected if it should not be installed.
Provide the initial state for the feature. The end user can override this from the Custom
Setup dialog. Your options are:
• The feature is not installed—By default, the feature will not be installed during setup.
•
The feature is installed on the local drive—By default, the feature will be installed
on the local drive during setup.
• The feature is run from source, CD, or network—By default, the feature will be run from
the source, whether it be from the installation CD or from the network.
•
The feature is advertised—By default, the feature will be advertised, but not
installed. Essentially, this is an on-demand option; a shortcut will be created during
setup, and if the shortcut is clicked, the feature will then be installed from the source.
This ensures features that may be unnecessary are not installed until they are needed,
if ever.
