Install Shield Wizard
-
Ok, I'm creating an Installation using MS Install Shield Wizard. My installation has 3 components. I need to know how to see if a certain component is being installed, so that I can place a shortcut on the desktop, and in the startmenu-programs folder, only if that component is being installed. The two components I need to check are named "CFW Source files" and "CFW Server files", the third component is not important for this, because it only contains system dll files. What I'm trying to do, is if the user installs only the source files, then I want to create a shortcut to the project file(circle.dsw). And if the user installs the server files, I want to create a shortcut to the program file(CFW.exe). What I don't want to do, is create either of those shortcuts, if those files are not being installed. I already know how to create the shortcuts. I just need to know how to make them depending upon which component was installed. "Don't tell me I'm smart, I might actually believe you!"

I assume you're InstallShield, I suggest looking at their documentation, and support pages and forums. I'm sorry, I'm haven't been InstallShield for a few months now, and it's one of those product that are easy to forget! InstallShield Forum[^] and www.InstallSite.org[^] There are quite a few nice people there also. Max.
