Customizing Installation Behavior

InstallShield 2025

An important aspect of creating an installation is customizing it for your end users’ needs. The “Customizing Installation Behavior” section of the documentation discusses various features of InstallShield that help you extend the functionality of your installation. For example, you may find it useful to create custom actions to add support for something not directly supported by Windows Installer. Furthermore, you may set up custom actions to call any script that you write in the InstallScript view’s script editor. This section includes the following topics:

Using InstallScript
Using Custom Actions
Using Action Text
Defining Sequences
Using Support Files
