Akash,

"Typical" and "Complete" are names of feature sets.  A feature set 
installs a particular group of components.  Each feature set can install 
a different set of components (though a component can be used in more 
than one feature set if needed).  An install always requires at least 
one feature set.

In my case, I install everything anyway so I only use one feature set 
and the user doesnt have any options.  However, I could equally set up 
the installer to have a "typical" feature set that installs just the 
application and a "complete" feature set that installs both the 
application AND the documentation and the user will then get to choose 
what it is they want to install.

Whether you need more than one feature set will entirely depend on what 
it is you are installing and if you need to give the user options on 
what is or isn't installed.

Subject: [WiX-users] What is a difference TYPICAL Installation and 
Complete Installation.

hi,


I have been using WiX 3.0 for migrating my installlers in Installshield 
to WiX.
One thing i am not able to understand is the Difference between 
*typical*and
*complete* installation.

Can any one please throw some light on this.

Akash
