Web Type Property

Select the configuration of your Web installation package.

- One Executable—Build this release as a single self-extracting Setup.exe file. This Web type is ideal for a package that is to be downloaded from many Web or FTP sites, since the installation package is self-contained. Note, however, that the entire installation package is downloaded, so the download time is longer than with the Install from the Web type that is described below.
- Downloader—Build this release as a combination of Setup.exe and your .msi package, where the end user downloads and launches Setup.exe, which in turn downloads and runs the .msi database, which contains all of your files.
- Install from the Web—Build this release as a combination of Setup.exe, your .msi database, and external cabinet (.cab) files. The end user downloads and run Setup.exe, which in turn downloads and runs the .msi database; based on the end user's setup type and feature selections, only the requested .cab files are downloaded and installed, which minimizes download time.

For the Downloader and Install from the Web types, application maintenance and repair uses the URL that you specify in the URL for Your Files setting as the installation source.
