InstallShield 2016
Project • The Dependency Scanners view is available in the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | InstallScript Object |
A file often relies on functions in other files to perform a task. However, you may not be aware of all these other files—known as dependencies—when you include your application’s files in your installation project. InstallShield offers the following scanning wizards to assist you in identifying and working with these files. You can access these scanners in the Dependency Scanners view.

Scanning Option |
Description |
|
Perform Static Scanning |
The Static Scanning Wizard looks at portable executable files (for example, .exe, .ocx, .com, .tlb, .hlp, and .chm) in your project and checks for dependencies that they may require. |
|
Perform Dynamic Scanning |
The Dynamic Scanning Wizard monitors your system while an executable file is running and checks for .dll or .ocx files that may be required by the executable file. |
Any files that are added to a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI project through one of these scanners are added in accordance with Setup Best Practices.
If you use the Static and Dynamic scanning wizards, you can specify files that you want to be included or excluded automatically any time that you perform a static or dynamic scan through InstallShield. For more information, see Filtering Files in Dependency Scanners.
