Configuring Settings for a Package in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project

InstallShield 2015

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

Advanced UI
Suite/Advanced UI

Edition: The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.

When you add a package to an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project, you can configure its settings to specify details such as the display name and the conditions under which the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation should launch the package.

To configure a package in your Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project:

1. In the View List under Organization, click Packages.
2. In the Packages explorer, click the package that you want to configure.
3. Use the settings on the Common tab to define conditions for the package and configure other settings.

For information on any of the package settings, see Common Tab.

At run time, the Setup.exe file launches each package based on the conditions that you have defined and the order in which you listed the packages in the Packages view.

Tip: You can use an asterisk as a placeholder for the current package’s product code package code, and product version when you are defining eligibility and detection MSI package conditions, as long as the package that you are configuring is an .msi package.

You can also use an asterisk as a placeholder for the current package’s upgrade code and either the minimum or maximum version number when you are defining eligibility and detection MSI upgrade conditions, as long as the package that you are configuring is an .msi package.
