Displaying Features to End Users

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

InstallShield enables you to indicate how you want a feature to be presented to the end user in the Custom Setup dialog.

The Visible setting for a feature in the Features view is where you indicate whether and how the feature should be displayed. Available options are:

Options that Are Available for the Visible Setting
Option	Description
Visible and Collapsed	The feature is displayed in the Custom Setup dialog with its subfeatures collapsed by default.
Visible and Expanded	The feature is displayed in the Custom Setup dialog with its subfeatures expanded by default.
Not Visible	The feature is be displayed to the end user in the Custom Setup dialog.

Note • Selecting Not Visible for this setting does not have any direct impact on whether a feature is installed. A feature is not automatically installed if it is invisible—it just cannot be deselected if it would otherwise be installed, or selected if it should not be installed.
