I have been planning to create a installer using the "Setup Project" included in visual studio. 我一直在计划使用Visual Studio中包含的“安装项目”来创建安装程序。 I want to create this in such a manner that it allows separate Client/Service installation using a single MSI file. 我要以允许使用单个MSI文件进行单独的客户端/服务安装的方式创建此文件。 Can anyone guide me the right direction/Steps to follow. 谁能指导我正确的方向/要遵循的步骤。 To elaborate it a bit more the client application will be a desktop application and the server app will be windows service. 更详细地说，客户端应用程序将是桌面应用程序，服务器应用程序将是Windows服务。

In general, you add a RadioButtons (2) dialog to your setup from the canned list, and make the user choose one, or checkboxes if both are allowed. 通常，您可以从固定列表中向您的设置中添加一个RadioButtons（2）对话框，并让用户选择一个，如果允许两者都选择，则请选中复选框。 If it's radio buttons, there's a property BUTTON2 which will be 1 or 0 depending on which was selected. 如果是单选按钮，则有一个属性BUTTON2，根据选择的内容为1或0。 Then each file for client or server you set a condition BUTTON2=1 as appropriate. 然后，为客户端或服务器的每个文件设置适当的条件BUTTON2 = 1。

There are some nasty gotchas. 有一些讨厌的陷阱。 One is that a repair will go through reinstall and the value of BUTTON2 will be undefined so you'll get unexpected results. 一种是修复将通过重新安装进行，并且BUTTON2的值将不确定，因此您会得到意想不到的结果。 One way to deal with this is to create a registry item with the value [BUTTON2] so that the value is saved in the registry, then you can add a search for that value to re-initialize it in case of repair. 解决此问题的一种方法是创建一个值为[BUTTON2]的注册表项，以便将该值保存在注册表中，然后您可以添加对该值的搜索以在维修时重新初始化它。

VS setups don't have a good way of doing this because they don't have multiple features that you can choose from, and that can be modified by going into Programs&Features and changing them. VS设置没有一个好的方法，因为它们没有可供选择的多种功能，可以通过进入“程序和功能”并进行更改来对其进行修改。 VS setups all have a single feature, so all you can do is condition the files/components being installed based on checkboxes and radio buttons. VS设置都具有一个功能，因此您所要做的就是根据复选框和单选按钮来限制要安装的文件/组件。

The properties window of every file being installed (Solution Explorer pane) includes a Condition property. 每个要安装的文件的属性窗口（“解决方案资源管理器”窗格）都包含一个Condition属性。 Selecting the file in Solution Explorer then doing F4 shows the properties window. 在解决方案资源管理器中选择文件，然后执行F4，将显示属性窗口。
