Panels for Creating and Editing Companion Installations

Getting there

Create a companion install package (also called a "companion database") to install any files that are not installed with Reflection. Because companion files are installed independently of Reflection, you can upgrade the product without removing these support files. You can also deploy additional support files without re-installing the product. If, for example, you are supporting several business units that require their own customized configuration files, you can create a companion install package for each business unit.

The options are:

 

Specify package information
Specify companion package Information.

 

Specify install locations
Specify the default installation folders on the user's computer.

 

Add files
Specify files to add to the user's computer during installation.

 

Configure shortcuts
Modify shortcuts for this product.

 

Modify setup properties
Set properties for Setup to apply during the installation.

 

Add registry data
Specify registry data to add to the user's computer during installation.

 

Modify user settings
Make changes to user settings on the computer where the customization file is installed.

Note: The Modify user settings option is active only when Installs only for the user who installs it is selected on the Specify the default installation folders on the user's computer panel.
