Deleting files from installation
There are some documents in the installation which I need to remove, but there is not "delete" option if I right click on them. They also have a different icon from the ones that can be deleted. How do you do this?

That file has a special icon because it is a dynamically linked file. The item that is selected in the Destination Computer's Folders pane also has that same icon. That's because it is a subfolder of Documents, which is a dynamically linked folder that contains dynamically linked subfolders. Here is some more information on dynamic links:

In order to remove the project from your folder, you would need to do one of the following:

In order to remove the project from your folder, you would need to do one of the following:
- In the Destination Computer's Folders pane, right-click the Documents folder and then click Dynamic File Linking. On the File Linking tab, set up an exclusion for your particular file. (For more info, click the Help button on this tab.)
- Delete the file from its source location on your computer (wherever you have the Drawings folder--I can see in the screen shot that the path starts with C:\Documents and Settings).
- Delete the entire Drawings folder on your computer.
- In the Destination Computer's Folders pane, right-click the Documents folder and then click Delete. This option would remove the Documents folder, plus all of its contents, from your project.
