Package and Deployment Wizard — Package Type

Allows you to choose the type of package you want to create.

Options

Package Type List

Lists the package types supported for the current project.

Standard Setup Package — Creates a package that will be installed by a setup.exe program.

Internet Package — Creates a cab-based installation package that will be installed by download from a Web site. You can select this option only for ActiveX-based projects.

Dependency File — Creates a file that lists information about the run-time components required by your application.

Description

Displays information about each package type.

Help

Displays the help topic for this step. You can also press F1 for help.

Cancel

Cancels your previous actions and closes the packaging portion of the Package and Deployment Wizard.

Back

Moves you to the previous step. Available only if there are previously saved packaging scripts for the current project.

Next

Moves you to the next step.

Finish

Creates a package using the settings you selected and displays a report at the end of the process. Available only when you have provided enough information for the Package and Deployment Wizard to successfully create a package.

If you chose a pre-existing script, the Finish button is available because the Package and Deployment Wizard assumes that the script contains all of the information needed to create the package.

Note   If you chose a different package type from that specified in the script, the Finish button is unavailable because the new package type will require information not stored in the script.
