Package & Deployment Wizard - Cab Options

Cab Options

The Cab options screen allows you to create one big setup file, or split it up into several sections.

If you are going to distribute your application on floppy disks, CD Rom or other media, choose the Multiple Cabs option and select the capacity of the media. If the setup program does not fit on one disk, it will automatically 'span' it across multiple disks, and prompt the user to enter each disk when needed.

If you are going to distribute your application on the internet, or via a network, you can select the Single Cab option. Your setup program will then be compiled into one setup file, whatever its size.

Click the next button to proceed.
