Microsoft Best Practices on Component Rules

We need to keep the following points when we create components in Wise package Studio

We Can cusomise the rules by going into Component rules -> modify

  • Match components in previous versions of the .MSI
  • Add all executable files to their own components
  • Add all .TLB files to their own components
  • Group Matching .HLP and .CNT files together
  • Group matching .CHM and .CHI files together
  • Put registry keys associated with files or components in matching component
  • Put Current User registry keys in their own component
  • Put non-Current User registry keys in their own component
  • Group all non-executable files to their own component
  • Name new non-advertised shortcuts by destination directory
  • Group non-keypath resources by resource type
  • Create new components for resources not matching other criteria
