Organizing Files for a DIM
InstallShield 2024
Project:
In a DIM project, files are organized in a hierarchy. You add the files for your portion of the installation to components. When you include a DIM in a Basic MSI project, you are adding the DIM’s components to one or more features in that Basic MSI project. When end users run your Basic MSI installation, they can select which features they want to install, if you allow them to selectively include and exclude features.
When you are adding files to components in DIM projects, you should be aware of Setup Best Practices. By default, the Setup Best Practices Wizard monitors your DIM design and alerts you if you have violated Best Practices.
To learn more about organizing your files, see the following areas of the documentation:
