InstallShield 2016 » Options Dialog Box
Project • The File Extensions tab is applicable to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Merge Module |
The File Extensions tab on the Options dialog box is where you specify preferences for Portable Executable (PE) files. InstallShield refers to this list of PE files on several different occasions. For example:
| • | When you add a PE file to a folder in the Destination computer’s folders pane in the Files and Folders view, InstallShield creates a new component for it and sets it as the component’s key file. |
| • | When you create components by using the best practice option in the Component Wizard, InstallShield creates a new component for PE files and sets each PE file as the key file of its component. |
| • | When you use the best practice method of component creation for dynamic file links, InstallShield creates at build time a separate component for each PE file in the dynamically linked folder. Each PE file is the key file of its component. |
The following setting is available on this tab:
