Setting a Component’s Remote Installation Setting
InstallShield 2015
Project: This information applies to the following project types:
The Remote Installation setting for a component determines whether the component’s files are installed on the target system or run from the source medium, such as a CD-ROM or network server. The default value for a new component is Favor Local, which means that the component’s files are installed on the target system.
To change this value so the component’s files run only from the source medium:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design (for installation projects only) or Components. |
|
2.
|
Select the component that you want to configure. |
|
3.
|
In the Remote Installation setting, select Favor Source. Selecting Optional gives this component the Remote Installation setting of its feature. |
The component’s Remote Installation setting overrides the feature’s. For more information, see Component’s Remote Installation Setting vs. Feature’s Remote Installation Setting.
Caution: If the component contains a Windows service, select the Favor Local option. Although an end user could change the feature’s installation state through the CustomSetup dialog, the Windows Installer cannot install a service remotely.
