Choose Features

Hi
I have an Installer which up to now was used to only install client software. I now need to give users the choice between a client and server installations. Both Client and server are the primary build from visual studio 2005 projects.

I have tried adding a new feature and setting it to install the server software to the appropriate folders but when i run the installation i am not given a a choice. It seems to just install both client and server.

Im quite new to installshield so im obviously missing something straight forward. Can someone give me some pointers?

Can someone give me some info on this, even a website with some information about how to implement a choice of installations. I have searched on google but have not found anything relevant

Hi!

What I did to select the feature to install is this:
(mind this is an InstallScript MSI Project and this code was written in setup.rul after a Dialog where the user click which feature wants to install, in your case, the user should choose between 'local' or 'server' I guess)

//Choose Feature to Install
switch (nFeature)
case 1:
FeatureSetupTypeSet (MEDIA, "FeatureName1");
case 2:
FeatureSetupTypeSet (MEDIA, "FeatureName2");
case 3:
FeatureSetupTypeSet (MEDIA, "FeatureName3");
case 4:
FeatureSetupTypeSet (MEDIA, "FeatureName4");
endswitch;

I hope this helps!
