Hello,

here are my requirements:
The user can choose between a normal and a network installation.
normal means, besides other things - a dll is copied to win\system32 and has to be registered by installshield.

network means, besides other things - this dll is copied to the exe folder and has to be registered by installshield.


Now the problem:
a)
How to implement this behaviour in the GUI?
With features, or a Checkbox on a separate Dialog, or ...?

b)
How can I advice installshield to copy and register the dll corresponding to what the user selects?

May anybody can point to to a link where this is (surely) already discussed.

Thanx - Dieter

Use a separate Directory table entry as target for the component. There are several ways how you can set this entry to the desired path, for instance a "set a path" custom action.
