Build configuration:

The build configuration you want to use when generating your final installation. The dropdown contains all of the current build configurations. A build configuration contains all previously saved information on the Setup File, Constants, and Pre/Post Build tabs.

Add ( )

Opens the New Build Configuration dialog where you can create a new build configuration to your project.

Remove ( )

Removes the current build configuration from your project.

Note: There must be at least one build configuration in your project.

Rename ( )

Renames the current build configuration.

Location

Output folder:

The directory that you want the setup executable saved to when it is finished building. You can click the Browse button to select an output folder.

Setup filename:

The name you want to give your setup file. This can be setup.exe, install.exe or anything else that you want.

Size

Segment size:

The segment size of the setup executable that will be generated. Choose from:

Web (Single File)

Generate the setup executable as one file.

1.44 MB Floppy

Generate the setup executable as 1.44 MB segments suitable for copying to 1.44 MB diskettes.

74 Minute CD-ROM (650 MB)

Generate the setup executable as 650 MB segments suitable for copying to 74 minute CD-ROMs.

80 Minute CD-ROM (703 MB)

Generate the setup executable as 703 MB segments suitable for copying to 80 minute CD-ROMs.

DVD

Generate the setup executable as 2 GB segments suitable for copying to 4.7 gig DVD's.

Custom

Generate the setup executable as segments of the size specified in Custom size.

Note: If you are generating a multi-segment install (not Web (Single File)), you must use the /W command line option if you want the setup to wait for return (Web (Single File) installs always wait for return). Generally you shouldn't wait for return on very large multi-segment installs as memory errors may occur.

Custom size (bytes):

The size in bytes that you want for each setup executable segment.

Note: Segment sizes must be large enough to accommodate the Setup Factory runtime and any primer files that have been added. Generally, this value must not be less than 486251 bytes (475 KB). Setup Factory will notify you if this case arises.

When building a multi-segment install, each segment must be less than 2 gigabytes (2147483648 bytes) in size.
