Using Installation Expert
To access Installation Expert, click Installation Expert at the lower left of the Wise for
Windows Installer main window.
Page Views
Use the Page Views drop-down list to select a page view, which is a set of Installation
Expert page groups and pages. See About Page Views on page 24 and Customizing Page
Views on page 25.
Page Groups
When you select a page view, its pages are organized into page groups. Click the group
name to expand or collapse its pages. Click a page name to display that page.
Page Area
When you click a page name in a page group, this area displays the page’s options. Each
page lets you define a specific aspect of the installation. (Examples: On the Files page,
you define what files are included in the installation. On the Registry page, you define
what registry keys and values are created on the destination computer.) Complete just
the pages that are pertinent to your particular installation, in any order. If required
information is missing, Wise for Windows Installer alerts you to the problem during
compile.
To display help for the current page, press F1. To return an Installation Expert page to
its last saved state, select Edit menu > Reset Page.
