Use the Distribution subtab to build and optimize an installer for use over the Internet, launched from an HTML file. You can also build and optimize an installer on a single or multiple CD-ROMs. The Distribution subtab also enables you to configure settings for building merge modules and templates.
The Distribution subtab of the Build Configurations tab includes the following options:
|

Description |
|
Build Web Installers (Self-Extracting Installers, Suitable for Web-based Distribution) |
To build a Web installer, which is a single executable file that contains all of the necessary installation logic, select this check box. Building the Web installer also generates an HTML page and embedded Java applet to make downloading the installer over the web easy. |
|
Optimize Installer Size by Platform and Tags |
To minimize the size of the final installers by excluding platform-specific resources (as determined by evaluating Check Platform rules) and excluding resources associated with build configuration tags that are not associated with the selected build configuration, select this check box. |
|
Web page displays in |
Select in which language to build the target web page. |
|
Build CD-ROM Installers (Suitable for Distribution on Removable Media) |
These installers consist of multiple files that are meant to be burned onto a CD, DVD, or multiple CDs or DVDs. They can also be placed on network volumes to provide easy access to large installers. The output of this build process can be directly burned onto disk. For more information, see Creating CD-ROM/DVD Installers. |

Optimize Installer Size by Platform and Tags |
To minimize the size of the final installers by excluding platform-specific resources (as determined by evaluating Check Platform rules) and excluding resources associated with build configuration tags that are not associated with the selected build configuration, select this check box. |
|
Build Merge Module/Template |
To integrate merge modules into an installer project at design time, select this check box. |
|
Optimize Merge Module/Template Size by Platform and Tags |
To minimize the size of the final merge module or template by excluding platform-specific resources (as determined by evaluating Check Platform rules) and excluding resources associated with build configuration tags that are not associated with the selected build configuration, select this check box. |
|
Read Only (May not be imported, but may be used in an ‘Install Merge Module’ action) |
To create a merge module that is read-only, meaning that it can be installed but not altered, select this check box. If a merge module is read-only, it cannot be opened, used as a template, or merged into an installer. A read-only merge module can only be installed as a self-contained installer unit. |
