CD only files
Hi!
How do I get files included in the build but not installed?
My situation is this. I have a InstallScript project with 2 releases, a download version (single file installer) and a cd version.
In the cd release I want some files to be included on the cd that should not be installed, like "autorun.inf" etc.
So I have made a component "CD Files" that is included in the feature "CD Features" that is only included in the CD release. But this ends copying the cd-files to the TARGETDIR. How can I avoid this?

Hmmm... Typically you add files that you want available but not installed to the Support Files view (such as Disk1 for uncompressed files), but I'm not sure you can filter those by build.
Perhaps try making your CD-only feature invisible and absent from every setup type?
