Windows Installer Location Panel
InstallShield 2020 Express Edition » Web Deployment Wizard
If you have selected to include the Windows Installer engine in your setup, you have two options as to where the installation will look for the setup for the engine:

Download engine from the Web as specified below |
If you want your installation to download the Windows Installer engine redistributables (if necessary) from the URL that is specified, select this option. The default URL (http://www.installengine.com/Msiengine30) is maintained by Revenera for your convenience. The advantage in selecting this option is that it reduces the size of your installation; however, the end user must have an Internet connection if the Windows Installer engine is needed, and it may take time to download the engine’s installation. |
|
Extract engine from Setup.exe |
If you want to compress the selected Windows Installer engine redistributable file or files into Setup.exe, to be extracted at run time, if necessary, select this option. Although selecting this option increases the size of the Setup.exe, the result may be a quicker installation, since the engine does not need to be downloaded. In addition, this option does not require an Internet connection. |
