Rebuilding Releases

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

You can rebuild a release at any time using the default entries that you already provided in the settings in the Releases view. The release that currently has focus is rebuilt.

To rebuild a release, do one of the following:

You can run the Release Wizard again to rebuild a release. Because the wizard stores the release settings in your InstallShield project file, the wizard displays all of the options that you set when you last built the release, even if you deleted the release.

To see your new installation package, click Disk Image(s) for the appropriate release in the Releases view. InstallShield places the built installation package into the following folder if you have not changed the default release location:

C:\InstallShield 2016 Projects\project name\product configuration\release name\DiskImages\Disk1

Note • Make sure that Windows Explorer is not pointing to the Disk1 folder or a subfolder when you build your release. If it is pointing to the Disk1 folder, the build process can continue indefinitely. If Windows Explorer is accessing a subfolder, the build generates an error.
