Component Type Panel
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Merge Module |
| • | MSI Database |
| • | MSM Database |
The Component Type panel enables you to create components of a single type. Since these components all have unique installation and uninstallation requirements, subsequent panels of the Component Wizard differ, depending on the type of component that you are installing.

Component Name |
When you click a component type, the wizard suggests a unique name for your new component in the Component Name field. To change the name, type a new name over the suggested name. Note:Although you can specify a single component type for multiple font files or multiple services in one file, these are all placed into a single component and require only one component name. This setting is disabled if you are creating the font type of component. InstallShield uses the font file name as the name of font components. |

Component Types |
Select the type of component that you want to create.
Note:If you want to create a component that installs, starts, stops, or deletes a service during installation or uninstallation, you can use the Services view. You can also use this view to configure extended service customization options, which are not configurable through the Component Wizard. For more information, see Installing, Controlling, and Configuring Windows Services. |
