Working with Setup Types

InstallShield 2020 Express Edition

Setup types enable you to allow your end users to selectively install portions of your product or all parts of your product. The default setup types are Typical, Minimal, and Custom.

The Typical setup type usually includes most, if not all, of an application’s features. The Custom setup type lets the end user determine which features should be installed on the target system. The Minimal setup type usually includes the features that are absolutely necessary to run your application; this type is designed for end users who have limited disk space, such as those using notebook computers.

Setup types are based on features. You select which features you want to associate with each setup type. Then, when an end user selects a certain setup type, only those features you associated with that setup type are installed.
