This is the second time I'm asking here, please help if you can.
What is the exact purpose of the FTP and HTTP properties in features / components? Can it be used for downloading their files from the internet? I'm using InstallScript project.
If I'm setting this properties, the files belonging to this feature are still embedded into the setup.exe file.
How can I tell the installer that won't embed these files to the setup.exe and that I'll provide the installer these files from the script?
Am I making sense here...?
The main purpose here is to make very small setup.exe file that will download feature upon request from the internet.
OneClick doesn't help because it keep crashing my IE.
The purpose of these properties is simply to store strings. No files will be included in your setup as a result of setting these properties.
It's up to you and your script to retrieve those string values (using FeatureGetData) and do with them what you want (launch a browser or ftp client, passing the URL (http or ftp location string) as the command line parameter).
