I am creating a software application that will be distributed in both free and paid versions. I would like to configure the installation process so that:
- When the paid version is selected, additional files and features are included.
- When the free version is selected, those files and features are completely ignored. Snow Road
Is it possible to set up Advanced Installer to only include the additional files for the paid version and completely ignore them for the free version? What steps should I take to ensure this works without causing installation errors?

Re: Custom Install Configuration Based on Software Version
Hello and welcome to our forums,
The paid files can be grouped into features that can be conditionally installed.
How to show a custom feature selection dialog
How to conditionally install a file or a registry
The above articles, although do not cover your scenario exactly, are a good starting point.
Basically, what we can do is the following:
- have a radio button group control with two choices (free or paid)
- based on the result, conditionally install the feature from the "Organization" page
Re: Is there a tutorial or sample aip that demonstrates Feature selection?
In the above thread, I explain to another customer how to conditionally install a feature based on the state of a checkbox control.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
