About Setup Editor
! Features
Add, edit, and delete features. Assign components to features; add and remove
components to and from features; and arrange the features of the installation. See
Features Tab on page 385.
! Dialogs
Select and customize dialogs the installation uses. See About the Dialogs Tab on
page 431.
! Tables
Edit tables in the .MSI database. You can access most of the data in these tables
through Installation Expert pages or other tabs of Setup Editor. Deleting, adding, or
editing table data directly is not recommended unless you are an experienced
Windows Installer developer with a clear understanding of Windows Installer
database technology. See Tables Tab on page 397.
! Components
Add, edit, and delete individual components of the installation. Each component is
one action the installation performs. Example: installing a file, changing the registry,
and so on. See Components Tab on page 390.
! Module
This tab appears only when you are in a merge module file. Add, edit, and delete the
components, files, registry entries, and other installation modifications contained in
the merge module. See Available Tabs and Pages in Merge Modules on page 331.
