Associating a DIM Reference with a Feature

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

When you are including a DIM reference in a Basic MSI project, the DIM reference must be associated with at least one feature; otherwise, InstallShield does not include it in the Basic MSI installation that it generates at build time.

You can associate a DIM reference with one or more features through the DIM References view or the Setup Design view of the Basic MSI project.

To use the DIM References view of a Basic MSI project to associate a DIM reference with a feature:

In the View List under Organization, click DIM References.

In the DIMs explorer, select the DIM that you want to configure.

Click the Features tab.

Select the check box of each feature that you want to contain the selected DIM. Clear the check box of each feature that should not contain the selected DIM.

To use the Setup Design view of a Basic MSI project to associate a DIM reference with a feature:

In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design.

In the Setup Design explorer, right-click the feature that you want to contain the DIM reference, and then click Associate DIM References. The Associate DIM References dialog box opens; it lists all of the DIM references that are not associated with a feature in the Basic MSI project.

Select each DIM that you want to associate with the selected feature, and then click OK.
