Creating Minor Upgrades

InstallShield 2015

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

Once you have determined that a minor upgrade is the best upgrade solution for you, you can start by adding a minor upgrade item in the Upgrades view. After you build an installation with a minor upgrade item, the build engine performs a series of tests to determine whether that your latest installation can successfully upgrade the previous version of your installation. However, adding a minor upgrade item is not necessarily required for a minor upgrade to function properly. For more details, see Run-Time Behavior for Minor Upgrades.

Any new features that you add to the latest version of your installation must be added as subfeatures of existing features. These new features must have Favor Parent selected for the Remote Installation setting and Yes selected for the Required setting in the Features view.
