The InstallShield automation interface enables you to query and modify many project settings from an unattended build process, using, for example, a VBScript script or Visual Basic application.
The framework of any script that uses the automation interface to access a project appears as follows (you can copy this script into a text file called Framework.vbs and then double-click the file icon):
Set oProject = CreateObject("IswiAutoAutomation Interface Version.ISWiProject")
oProject.OpenProject "C:\MySetups\MyProject.ism"
' perform queries and changes here
oProject.SaveProject ' necessary only if modifying the project
oProject.CloseProject
