Setting a Feature’s Remote Installation Setting

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

The Remote Installation setting for a feature determines whether the feature’s files are installed on the target system or run from the source medium, such as a CD-ROM or network server. The default value for a new feature is Favor Local, which means that the files in the selected feature are installed on the target system.

To change the Remote Installation setting so that the feature’s files run only from the source medium:

1. In the View List under Organization, click Features.
2. Select the feature that you want to configure.
3. In the Remote Installation setting, select Favor Source.

Tip • Selecting Favor Parent gives a subfeature the same value as its parent feature.
