Setup Types are sets of Components. When the end-user selects a setup type, actually he/she is selecting a set of components. VisualSetup allows you define the setup types you want. So, setup types are the easiest and most abstract way to allow the end-user choose the files that will be installed.

 

To define a Setup Type, open the Setup Types editor (Project > Setup Types menu command), and then select Editor > Add Setup Type menu command. For each Setup Type you include in the project, select the Components you want to relate with the setup type.

 

 

During the setup wizard, you will need to code the selection of the setup type using the click-script action Set Setup Type. VisualSetup automatically defines the Typical, Minimum and Custom setup types when you create a project using the New Project Wizard, and automatically includes a dialog that allows the end-user choose one of these setup types. If you want to customize, adding new setup types or changing these setup types' names, you will need to change the setup dialog Select Setup Type. Only changing the components of these setup types, you do not need to change the Select Setup Type setup dialog.
