Description

Destination

Select the folder on the target system into which the DIM’s files should be installed, or click the ellipsis button (...) to select or create a directory. This setting lets you override the destination that was set in the DIM project. The default value of this setting is the value that was set in the DIM project.

To install the files to the product’s default destination folder, select [INSTALLDIR].

If you want the destination to be configurable at run time, the destination folder that you specify must be a public property (containing all uppercase letters).

You can also set the destination folder of a component’s feature. For information on the effects of setting the destination for a feature as well as its components, see Component Destination vs. Feature Destination.

Conflict Resolution

Indicate how you want to resolve conflicts between values of settings in the Basic MSI project with those in the selected DIM project. Available options are:

•

Use Base Project Value—If InstallShield encounters a conflict when merging the DIM data into the Basic MSI installation at build time, InstallShield uses the value that is in the Basic MSI project instead of the value that is in the DIM project.

•

Use DIM Project Value—If InstallShield encounters a conflict when merging the DIM data into the Basic MSI installation at build time, InstallShield uses the value that is in the DIM project instead of the value that is in the Basic MSI project.

For more information, see Resolving Build-Time Conflicts Between a Basic MSI Project and a DIM Reference.
