This Component Wizard path is the easiest means for organizing all of your application’s files into components. The wizard also handles installing files with special installation requirements, such as COM servers and fonts, if it detects them among the files that you provide. For more information on how the Component Wizard organizes your files according to Best Practices, see Best Practice Rules for Creating Components.

After selecting the Best Practices option in the Component Wizard, the next panel you see is the Best Practices–Destination Panel.
