Answer

Advanced Installer offers support for creating an EXE setup file that will download the MSI and CAB files from your web site and start installing the application with these resources. To create such an installer you can try following these steps:

• go to Media page, on the Bootstrapper tab
• create an EXE setup file
• select the next two radio buttons:
• “Include install files in EXE“
• “Retrieve from on-line location“
• after that specify the URL for the MSI file in the “URL:“ field

This way the files can be stored on the server of the web site and the MSI as well. When the user runs the EXE file the MSI will be downloaded and the installation will start. The MSI also will start downloading all the files it needs for installation.

If you wish the MSI to download only certain files, based on the feature selection made by the user you can try the following settings:

• go to Media page, in the Media tab select “One CAB archive per feature“
• make sure the MSI and the CAB files are in the same folder on your web server at the URL specified above
