Component’s Remote Installation Setting vs. Feature’s Remote Installation Setting

InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

The component’s Remote Installation setting always overrides the feature’s Remote Installation setting. For example, if a component’s Remote Installation setting is set to Favor Local, its files are installed on the target system regardless of the feature’s Remote Installation setting.

The files are run from the source medium when a component’s Remote Installation setting is set to Favor Source. If you want a component’s feature to dictate whether the files run from the source medium, select Optional for the component’s Remote Installation setting.

When a component is associated with more than one feature and Optional is selected for the component’s Remote Installation setting, the files are installed locally if any of its features is set to Favor Local. If the component is set to Favor Local or Favor Source, the files are installed accordingly.
