Media Tab

InstallShield 2016 » Merge Module Properties Dialog Box

File Location

Use the Media tab to specify the destination and format of your output.

On the source media (uncompressed)

Choose this option to copy the files uncompressed to the media.

In a new .CAB file

When you choose this option, InstallShield puts the source media in the same location as the .msi package. However, you can choose to stream the .cab into the .msi package.

Stream the new .CAB file into the Windows Installer Package

Choose this option to stream the .cab into the .msi package.

Note • For transform (*.mst) project types, the option to stream the .cab into the .msi package is disabled because the transform project cannot store the .cab fie internally. It can only add uncompressed files or files stored in an external cab.
