Create ‘Project Name’ subfolder and save the project in the created folder

This check box controls where the project file is located on your system. To create a <Project Name> subfolder in the location specified in the Project Location box (on the File Locations tab of the Options dialog box) and to save the project in that subfolder, select this check box. For projects that contain InstallScript, the Script Files folder is also created in this subfolder.

If the new project’s GUID should be different than the GUID of the original project, select this check box. If the new project’s GUID should be the same GUID of the original project, clear this check box.

Update the project settings appropriately based on the new project name

To use the name that you specified in the File name box as the value for the Project Name setting in the General Information view of the new project, select this check box. If the value of the new project’s Name setting should be the same as that of the original project, clear this check box.
