Path Variable Overrides Dialog Box

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

The Path Variable Overrides dialog box opens when you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Path Variable Overrides setting. The Path Variable Overrides setting is on the Build tab for a release in the Releases view. Use this setting to override one or more path variables in your project at build time for the selected release.

The Path Variable Overrides dialog box shows a check box for the path variables, environment variables, and registry variables that are configured in the Path Variables view. Note that it does not include check boxes for any predefined path variables, or for path variables that are already overridden for the same release in the Releases view.

Select the check box for each path variable that you would like to override. Then click the OK button. Under the Path Variable Overrides setting, InstallShield adds a new setting for each path variable that you selected. Use those settings to specify the new values for the path variables.

At build time, InstallShield overrides the values that are set in the Path Variables view with the values that are configured for the release in the Releases view.
