This is page 3 of 5 of Getting Started With Visual Installer:
 
1 - Choose a basic project type
2 - Enter a project name and specify a main destination folder
3 - Select which files to install
4 - Add text to setup dialog boxes
5 - Saving a project and building a setup package
   
Select which files to install
 
12. It is quite easy to add files to a installation project. First you need to click on the "+" sign in the button toolbar:
 
Visual Installer - The 'File list' tab - Add files
  
13. Thereafter you need to browse after the files you want to add to the file list, and select them:

The 'Add files' dialog box
 
14. Then you click Open in the Add files dialog box to choose the files. Now is the Destination folder dialog box shown:
  
The 'Destination folder' dialog box
 
15. In the Destination folder dialog box you will choose a destination folder for the files. As default, the %DESTDIR variable is chosen as a default destination folder. The %DESTDIR variable will contain the path that you specified in the Main folder text box in the File list tab:
  
Main folder - Program Files - My First Project
   
16. If you want to install your files to this location, you can use %DESTDIR variable as a default and press OK in the Destination folder dialog box. The files will now be added to the file list. The File list tab will look like:
  
Visual Installer - The 'File list' tab - With files
     
   
 
We have now chosen which files to install and where to install them. On the next page we will show how to add text to the setup dialog boxes that are shown for the end-user during the installation. Click on the Next Page link below to continue.
