Always increment shared .DLL count
Mark this to increment the count of applications using .DLLs in this component
when installing it, even if the component is already installed. If a component is
installed to the Global Assembly Cache, you cannot increment the reference
count.
Leave installed on uninstall
Mark this to leave the component installed when its feature is uninstalled.
Check condition during reinstall (Transitive)
Mark this to check the condition not only on the original installation but also
when the component is re-installed.
Never overwrite if key path exists
Mark this to prevent the component from being installed if the item specified as
the key path already exists.
64-bit component
When this is marked, it designates the component as 64-bit. The target
directory and the component must both be either 32-bit or 64-bit. If one is 32-
bit and the other is 64-bit, a warning message appears, giving you the option to
change the target directory to match the component. Example: If this check
box is marked and the Directory is Program Files (x86), you are prompted to
change this target directory to its 64-bit counterpart, Program Files.
This is marked automatically for 64-bit .EXE or .DLL files and 64-bit registry
keys that you add to the installation.
