InstallShield 2016
When you build a release for your project, the Output window opens if it is not already open, and it displays build information. It also provides other task-specific information. For example, if you validate your project, InstallShield displays validation results in the Output window. If you open a project that was created with an earlier version of InstallShield, the Output window shows upgrade information.
The following tabs appear in the Output window:
