Add Files to the Installation
On the Files page, you specify the directories and files that will be installed on the
destination computer. You specify files per feature; the files that you add are installed on
the destination computer only if the feature is installed. Because this installation has
multiple features, be sure to specify the feature for which you are adding files. You do
this by selecting it from the Current Feature drop-down list.
