Features are the building blocks of an installation, from the end user’s perspective. Because of this, features should represent distinct and discrete pieces of functionality within your installation.
If your application has different blocks of functionality, you should create a multiple-feature installation. For example, if your installation contains your application (.exe file) and a help library (.hlp file), your installation project should contain at least two features—one for each piece of functionality.
To learn more about creating a multiple-feature installation within the Project Assistant, see Creating Installations with Multiple Features.
