Features /setup types

[ccordes]

Features are nice but is there a way to group them by setup type? or by Release?
I wanted to create a setup with a Normal and Network type where each setup type would have a different set of features.
Maybe I need to make a check box dialog or something?

Chris,

Yes, no problem. See attached screenshots.

Does this help?

Thanks.
I know that part. What I like to do is to give the user the choice of what shortcuts to install - Desktop, quick launch or menu.
I have been using features for that. Now, this network/local install choiuce has come up and when I attach features to the setup type, it displays all the features associated with the setup types on the custom install screen along with the 3 available shortcut options.
I am thinking that I am not approaching this properly.
Am I missing something?

Chris,

You define the features for the shortcuts, etc. in the "Conditions" tab (see attached screenshot).

To give the user a choice, please see the "Additional Tasks.sb6" demo project from the Examples package.

Yes that is exactly what I do. So far so good.
My problem is that no matter which setup type the user chooses, the same set of features gets displayed.
As an example, I have Desktop Icon, Quick Launch and Copy Data Set as features.
I have Normal and Network as Setup Types.
Both Setup Types have the Custom checkbox checked because of the icon choices.
Normal setup has All 3 features checked
Network has only Desktop Icon and Quick Launch checked.
no matter which Setup the user selects, All 3 features are displayed in the custom setup dialog.
-What I want to happen is if the Network setup type is selected the Copy Data set should not show.

Yes, this is correct. The "Custom Setup" dialog always displays all available features.
