Configuring Server Locations

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the Transform projects.

If end users install a product from a network server or Web site, and they install features to run from the server or Web site, the product may need access to the .msi package and related files on the server or Web site sometime after the initial installation. The product may also require access if a file is deleted or becomes corrupted; the installation can copy the problematic file or files automatically from the server or Web site.

InstallShield enables you to specify in your transform a list of network or URL source paths to your product’s installation package. The paths in this list are stored in the SOURCELIST property. Windows Installer appends this list to the end of an end user’s existing source list for the product at run time.
