InstallShield 2026 » Convert Source Paths Wizard

The Convert Source Paths Wizard allows you to convert your setup’s hard-coded paths to path variables. The wizard scans your project for any use of hard-coded paths and then replaces the paths with standard path variables.

If you have files that evaluate to existing path variables, the wizard automatically converts these paths without providing the option of selecting a new variable. For example, if you have a file in the Program Files folder, this path is automatically converted to the predefined path variable <ProgramFilesFolder>.
