Adding ComponentIDs for a Component to Be Published

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

• Basic MSI
• DIM
• InstallScript MSI
• Merge Module
• MSI Database
• MSM Database
• Transform

You must add at least one componentID to the Publishing advanced setting of a component if you want the component to be published.

To add a componentID:

1. In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design (for installation projects only) or Components.
2. In the explorer, expand the component that should have the new componentID, and under Advanced Settings, select Publishing. The Publishing explorer appears in a separate pane.
3. Right-click the Publishing explorer and then click New ComponentID. InstallShield adds a unique componentID and a corresponding qualifier.
