allow user to select which files to install

Hello,

I need to create a setup and deployment in vs2005 that will allow the user to select which executables (I have 4 executables) to install.

Can anyone help me get started.

Thanks,

Michael

If you go to the User Interface view, right click Start under Install you can add a Dialog. The one you want is CheckBoxes (B) I think, because it has 4 checkboxes. Add your text, then when the user checks one of them the property CHECKBOXB1 (or CHECKBOXB2 and so on) will have a value of 1, so install a file with the condition CHECKBOXB1=1, CHECKBOXB2=1 for the other file etc.

Hello,

If I want to use RadioButtons (full install, partial install) how can I check these values in the condition?
