Dependencies Dialog Box

InstallShield 2024

The Dependencies dialog box displays the list of dependencies for a selected file. To access this dialog box, right-click a file in the Destination computer’s files pane of the Files and Folders view, and then click Dependencies from scan at build.

The dialog box provides results for assembly DLLs. If you launch the dialog box from Microsoft Visual Studio, the dialog box shows results for project outputs. If launched from InstallShield outside of Visual Studio, scan at build dependencies is disabled for project outputs.

Note:This is enabled only for key files and when the .NET Scan at Build property is set to Dependencies and Properties. If the dependency or one of its dependencies cannot be located, a red icon is displayed.

Dialog Box Options

Dependency

This section lists all of the dependencies with a check box next to each. To exclude a dependency from the build, clear the check box next to the dependency. To close the dialog, click OK.

Note:Any new dependencies detected at build time—for files added after closing the Dependencies dialog box—are added to the build.
