The fastest way to create components is to launch the Component Wizard and have InstallShield organize your files into components for you. Select the Create components for me using best practices option to have the wizard generate components by applying Setup Best Practices to the files you specify.

To launch the Component Wizard, do one of the following:

For installation projects only: Right-click a feature in the Setup Design view and select Component Wizard.
For installation projects, DIM projects, and Merge Module projects: Right-click Components in the explorer of the Components view and click Component Wizard.
