InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.
When you add a reference for a DIM project to your Basic MSI project, the DIM elements are merged into the Basic MSI project at build time. Each time that you build the Basic MSI installation, InstallShield references the latest version of the DIM project and includes it in the installation that it generates.
To add a reference for a DIM to a specific feature in a Basic MSI project:
| 1. | In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design. |
| 2. | In the Setup Design explorer, right-click the feature that you want to contain the DIM reference, and then click Add DIM Reference. The Open dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Browse to the DIM project file (.dim) that you want to reference, and then select that file. |
| 4. | Click the Open button. |
InstallShield adds to the appropriate feature a component node for each component in the DIM project.
Tip • You can also use the DIM References view to add a reference for a DIM to your Basic MSI project. In this view, right-click the DIMs explorer and then click Add DIM Reference. When you add a reference through this method, the DIM is not associated with any features in the Basic MSI project. To learn how to set up the association, see Associating a DIM Reference with a Feature. Each referenced DIM must be associated with a feature in the Basic MSI project; otherwise, InstallShield does not include it in the Basic MSI installation that it generates at build time.
