Making Your Object Compatible with Installations During Run Time
InstallShield 2025
Project:
Your object should support all of the operating systems and languages that are supported by any installation that includes the object. Operating system mismatches could cause the installation to not perform correctly; language mismatches can confuse the installation’s end users. To help avoid such mismatches, do one of the following:
| • | Add support to your object for all operating systems and languages that are supported by InstallShield. To add operating system support to your object project, go to the General Information view and configure the Platform Filtering setting. To add language support to your object project, see Preparing an Object for Internationalization. |
| • | Include, with the object, documentation that informs installation authors which operating systems and languages are supported. To do this, create an .htm file that contains the necessary information, then on the Project menu, click Settings. Click the Language-Specific Object Properties tab, and specify the .htm file in the HTML Help field. |
