InstallScript MSI

InstallShield enables you to place your product name, product version, or installed version globally in Sd dialog static text fields containing the placeholder %P, %VS, or %VI (sometimes appearing as an extra space). At run time, the values of the system variables IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_NAME, IFX_PRODUCT_DISPLAY_VERSION, and IFX_INSTALLED_DISPLAY_VERSION are displayed in place of %P, %VS, and %VI in the static text fields.

If you are adding a static text field containing a placeholder, give the static text field a unique (to that dialog) ID in the range of 701 through 799. IDs in the 701 through 799 range instruct InstallShield to scan the static text field for the existence of the placeholders. If a placeholder is found, InstallShield replaces it with the value of the corresponding system variable.
