client and server installations using one setup package

We are developing a client/server app in .NET 2.0, SQL Server and Crystal Reports for .NET 2005.

We want to have a single InstallShield package for both client and server installs. During setup, the end user will be provided with 3 options (that is 3 radio buttons) - Client, Server and Both. Based on the selection, we have to install either files related to Client, Server or both on the target machine. Do you know how this can be done?

What kind of project are you using?

With a Basic MSI, you could create a custom dialog with the radio buttons, then use the corresponding property to conditionally set the contents of ADDLOCAL and REMOVE.

With an InstallScript project, you can use either a custom dialog or one of the standard option dialogs, and then in your script set the feature state of the features based on the option selected.

Hope this helps.
