I am creating a setup using InstallShield 2011. I am having different sub versions for a particular category. For e.g if i select Option A, it has A1 and A2 as sub - versions. I must select only one of these two and the files for this version must only be installed.Can anyone give their ideas on how to do this?

You mean you want to create components?

No i have components. I have different components for a particular category. I have to select any one component and that has to be installed in the system.

Use InnoSetup.

I have to use InstallShield 2011 only. We have only that software with us.

How about to use different features with respective components in them?
Feature_A
- Component_A1
- Component_A2
...

Yeah i want to use like that only. As u say if i select Feature A then i should be able to choose either Component A1 or Component A2. The selected component files should be installed.

You should customize user input panel for this or create your own dialog.
