Correcting Identified Errors

InstallShield 2026 » InstallScript Debugger

The InstallScript Debugger neither identifies errors nor edits code. Only you can find errors that escaped the compiler, and only an editor can actually change the code.

When running the debugger, you may have the Script Editor open, and it may contain the same file (probably Setup.rul) as does the debugger's code window. When you stop the debugger and go to edit your code, you must do so in the IDE. If another file is there, or that window isn't open, you must set it up for editing the offending script.

When you have made the necessary changes, you must:

Recompile the script (select Compile Setup.rul from the Build menu).
Rebuild the setup.
Debug the script.
Adjust breakpoints and variables, if appropriate, to include the changes just made.
