One component in multiple features

[kahmad]

Our goal is to have one installation that can install up to four products.

Client
* Product A

Server
* Product A
* Product B
* Product C
* Product D

Note that Product A is listed under both Client and Server.

If the user chooses Client then we will move forward with the installation of Product A.

If the user chooses Server then the next dialog will show a list of Products (A through D). The user can then select one or more of those products. From there we would move forward with the installation of the selected products.

I am at the beginning stages of creating this. On the Files and Folders page I have the files for Product A. On the Organization page I have the following features.

Client
> Product A
Server
> Product A

It looks like each file on the Files and Folders page is in its own component. Those components are currently under Client > Product A. I don't see any options to create a copy of the component or make a new component. How do I get these components to show up under BOTH Client > Product A and Server > Product A?

Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

In order to achieve that you can share the “Product A” component by dragging it into the other feature while the “Shift” key is pressed. Now you will have the same component “Product A” on both features:
“Client” feature and “Server” feature.

Best regards,
Dan
