Description

Release Flags

To filter features, InstallShield prerequisites, and chained .msi packages, enter the release flags that you would like to include in this release. If you are including more than one flag, separate them with commas.

You have the option of including a subfeature but not its parent feature. In such a case, the subfeature is built into the release as a top-level feature, and its parent is excluded from the release.

The release flags that you enter here are combined with the product configuration flags. For more information on the relationship between the two, see Product Configuration Flags vs. Release Flags.

Project • The Release Flags option is not available for merge module projects.

Filter application data based on the following languages

To filter application data based on each component’s language, select this option, and then select or clear the appropriate language check boxes.

If you select one or more language check boxes, InstallShield includes in the release all of the components that are marked with a matching language, as well as all of the components that are marked as language independent; InstallShield excludes any components whose languages do not match.
