Editing Setup Types

InstallShield 2016

Project • Setup types are available in the following project types:

•

InstallScript

•

InstallScript MSI

To create setup types for a Basic MSI project, use the feature’s Install Level setting.

To change which features are associated with a setup type:

In the View List under Organization, click Setup Types.

In the Setup Types explorer, click the setup type that you want to edit. All of the features in your installation project appear in the lower-left pane.

Clear the check boxes next to the features that should not be included in the selected setup type. Select the check boxes next to those features that you want included.

Any setup types listed in the Setup Types pane are automatically added to your installation project.

Note • The SetupType2 function displays only the standard setup types—Complete and Custom—with fixed description text for both. If you want greater flexibility, call SdSetupTypeEx in your script instead of SetupType2. (The default code for the OnFirstUIBefore event handler includes a call to the SetupType2 function.)

Tip • To provide an accelerator key for your setup type, include an ampersand (&) before a letter in the name. For example, the name Cu&stom becomes the label Custom, and the end user can select it during installation by pressing the S key.
