Postbuild Event Dialog Box

InstallShield 2024

Edition:This information applies to the Premier edition of InstallShield.

The Postbuild Event dialog box opens when you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Postbuild Event setting. The Postbuild Event setting is on the Events tab for a release in the Releases view.

Use the Postbuild Event dialog box to specify one or more commands that you want to be run after InstallShield has built and signed the release.

To specify more than one command, enter each command on a separate line. At build time, InstallShield runs each command in the order that they are listed. The build waits until a command finishes before proceeding to the next one.

When you are entering a command, you can use any path variables and environment variables that are defined in your project, instead of using a hard-coded path. You can also use certain variables that are defined specifically for build event commands.

For more information, see Specifying Commands that Run Before, During, and After Builds.
