Using ISBuild.exe to Build from the Command Line

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the InstallScript projects.

Important:ISCmdBld.exe should be used instead of ISBuild.exe to build the release, as ISBuild.exe has been deprecated.

ISBuild.exe, a command-line tool that is available for legacy InstallScript projects, is a shell that calls into ISCmdBld.exe. ISCmdBld.exe handles the conversion of .ipr and .ipo (object projects created using InstallShield Professional) files to an .ism file and builds the release.

For a list of command-line parameters for ISBuild.exe, see ISBuild.exe.
