Customizing the Installation Architecture

InstallShield 2018 » InstallScript Project Tutorial

The Installation Architecture page lets you specify the features you want to be displayed by your installation. A feature is the smallest separately installable piece of your product from the end user’s standpoint. Individual features are visible to end users when they select a Custom setup type.

Note • Features can contain subfeatures, subsubfeatures, and so forth, to as many levels as your installation requires.

For this tutorial, do the following:

1. For the Do you want to customize your Installation Architecture? question, select Yes.
2. Select the existing DefaultFeature feature and rename it ProgramFiles.
3. Create a new feature called HelpFiles. To do so, click Installation Architecture and then click the New button.
