Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
InstallShield 2024 R1 introduces a new setting named, Prevent Multiple Launches, on the Setup.exe tab for a release in the Releases view, which allows you to specify whether you want to prevent the multiple launches or executions of the setup.exe file during the same period. The following are the available options:
| • | Yes—Selecting this option prevents the multiple launches or executions of the setup.exe file during the same period. |
| • | No—Selecting this option allows the multiple launches or executions of the setup.exe file during the same period. |
By default, this setting is set to No.
For more information, see Setup.exe Tab for a Release in the InstallShield Help Library.
Note:This change was tracked in ISDEV-42964.
Run a Suite Installation Silently Without Downloading Updates
Project:This information applies to the Suite/Advanced UI projects.
In InstallShield 2024 R1, you can now use a new command-line parameter named /skipupdate to configure a Suite/Advanced UI silent installation—to instruct the installer to skip the download of any updates and proceed with a silent installation, instead of automatically forcing a user to apply the downloadable updates.
To run a Suite/Advanced UI silent installation without forcing a user to download the updates, use the /skipupdate parameter in the command line:
Setup.exe /silent /skipupdate
Note:This command-line parameter enhances a Suite/Advanced UI installation in silent mode.

Ability to Hide Property Value in Verbose Log
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
In InstallShield 2024 R1, you can hide the required property value in the verbose log file using the MsiHiddenProperties property.
This enhancement involves setting the required property as a value of the MsiHiddenProperties property using the Property Manager view of the Behavior and Logic. As a result, the required property value, which is defined in the Install properties setting for a selected package of the Chained .msi Packages explorer in the Releases view of the Media, is not visible in the verbose log file.
Note:This change was tracked in ISDEV-32736.
Ability to Specify EV/OV Token Password Using Command Line
In InstallShield 2024 R1, you can specify the EV/OV token password via the cert_password—an optional parameter in the command line build—to sign the files in the project.
Note:This change was tracked in ISDEV-43922.
Ability to Display Proper Image at 125% and 175% Scaling
In InstallShield 2024 R1, you can display the proper or correct size of an image on the Suite Loading screen during an installer installation when the Windows scale is set to 125% and 175%.
Note:This change was tracked in ISDEV-43034.
