Component-Feature Associations
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
A component can be associated with as many features or subfeatures as necessary. For example, a text editor product might have two features—an editor and a spell checker. Both the editor and spell checker have dependencies that are in a System .dll files component. When designing this installation, you should associate the System .dll files component with both the editor and the spell checker features.
You can associate components with features in the Setup Design view. There are two ways to associate components with features in the Setup Design view, depending on whether or not the component already exists. For more information, see Associating New Components with Features and Associating Existing Components with Features.
Note:Components that are not associated with a feature are displayed with the orphaned component icon:
