Package & Deployment Wizard

Package Types

You now have a choice of the type of Package you want to create. For this tutorial, select Standard Setup Package and click Next. I have explained the different package types below.

Standard Setup Package - Creates a standard setup program (setup.exe) which can then be distributed on a floppy disk, CD Rom or other media. (It can also be downloaded from the internet)

Dependancy File - This generates dependancy file that stores information on what files the program or component needs. This can then be used by the Package & Deployment Wizard (or another setup wizard) when including the program or component in another setup program.
