Description

Project Location

All

The project location becomes your Favorite folder for new installation projects. All of your source and release files, such as your project (.ism) file, installation package (.msi file), and disk image files, are stored in subfolders of your Favorites location, currently [unknown]. You can enter a complete path or click the Browse button to navigate to the folder.

By default, your project is stored in the following location:

C:\InstallShield 2016 Projects

Tip • Changing the project location does not move existing folders and files in the previous project location. You must build a release with a new name or manually move the folders to change their location.

Dialogs Location

Basic MSI

Enter the path where the Dialog Wizard should search for dialogs. Dialogs in this location appear in the list presented in the Dialog Wizard’s Dialog Template panel. Separate additional paths with a comma.
