Selecting Isolation Options

Not available in Standard Edition.
To select isolation options
In Application Isolation, the Select Isolation Options page appears only if you chose to
use Windows Installer Isolated Components as the Isolation Method. Complete the
page as follows:
1. From Feature Options, mark one of the following options:
Move files into the same feature as necessary and then isolate
When isolation is performed, files are moved up to parent features as needed
until the .EXE and its support files are located in the same feature. Example:
With automatic isolation, .EXEs and their support files are moved up in the
hierarchy until they all reside in the same feature. With manual isolation, you
can isolate any .EXE in your installation with any support file, and when
isolation is performed, the files are moved as needed.
Isolate only those files that are already in the same feature as the
application .EXE
When isolation is performed, only .EXEs and their support files that reside in the
same feature are isolated with each other. Example: Suppose Sample.EXE and
Sample.DLL are in the same feature and you chose automatic isolation of files.
When isolation is performed, Sample.EXE and Sample.DLL are isolated with
each other. But if they were in different features, they would not be isolated
with each other. If you chose manual isolation, only files in the same feature as
the .EXE appear on the Select Files to Isolate page.
2. From Repair Support for Isolated Files, mark one of the following options:
Do not add repair support for isolated files
Isolated files in the installation do not have self-repair.
Install isolated files in their original location
Isolated files are installed in the application directory and in their original
location, such as System32. The installation adds a component that facilitates
repair of the files in the application directory. When the application needs to be
repaired, Windows Installer looks for the files in both the system directory and
the application directory.
Install isolated files in the application directory only
Isolated files are installed in the application directory but not in the system
directory. When the application is started, Windows Installer looks for the file in
the application directory.
If copies of the isolated file are also installed in other directories, then the
installation creates component ID registry entries to refer to the other locations
of the file. When the application needs to be repaired, Windows Installer looks
for the file in the application directory and in any other directories referenced in
the registry.
ApplicationWatch
ApplicationWatch™ monitors your computer as you execute an application or run an
installation and determines which .DLL, .OCX, and .EXE files were accessed. It then adds
