multiple install options in installshield

Im new to using installshield, currently im using installsheild 10.

i am trying to create a install file where the they can choose the install

for example

() install package A () install package B

Depending on there answer depends on what files are installed.

like i said i have been looking everywhere for a sample file to download soi would be able to teach myself but i have gave up as its been ongoing for 2 days.

I have tried many things like the options "complete or custom"

thank you in advance but please keep it simple for me to follow :)

Or is there any easy software that can cater for this?

Please try with Feature condition mean make a single MSI with 2 Features and set Two Public Properties for those Like FEATURE1,FEATURE2.set condndition to feature in navigation tree . once you create these add the files to two features seperately.when end user tryes to install let them install through cmd or batch file or vbs to enter parameters like

Msiexec/i"app.msi" FEATURE1=condition name

hope this will work

I can recommend you to read about "Features" first, and understand how MSI works. There is answer on your question regarding the separate packages. But if you have already 2 MSI and want to create installer which will install first, second or both - read information about "Chained MSI".
