Single installer with different components depending on box

Hi there,
We've got a system which consists of components, each of which is to be installed on a different server.

I'd like to have a single installer in which the user can indicate which server they are on, and for the installer to install the appropriate software on the server. The APPDIR location will be different per server.

I know how to create a dialog where the user can say which server they are on. Is it possible to structure the installer to then install different components depending on the server? I presume I'll need to use the Organization Page to set up components.

Any pointers, please?

Thanks a lot,

James

Re: Single installer with different components depending on

Hi James,

Yes, this can be done through the Organization page. But you can use both features and components. Can you please give me more details about what you mean by "components"? Are they other installers, folders or files in your project? If we know what they represent to your installer, we can suggest the best approach.
