InstallShield 2018
To save time, you can base multiple projects on a single project template that contains default settings and design elements. The template can be stored somewhere on your system. It can also be stored in a repository.
To create a project using a template as a starting point:
| 1. | On the File menu, click New. The New Project dialog box opens. |
| 2. | Click the All Types tab. |
| 3. | Select the template that you want to use. |
Note • To display templates that are stored in a repository, right-click in the box of project types and ensure that Show Templates in Repository is enabled. To add a template to the tab, right-click in the box of project types and then click Add New Template. Then browse to the desired template file (.ist file).
| 4. | In the Project Name box, type a name for your project. |
| 5. | In the Location box, type the path to the directory where you want to store your template, or click the Browse button to find it. |
| 6. | Click OK. InstallShield creates the new project based on the template that you selected, and the new project is opened in InstallShield. |
The new project is virtually identical to the project template, except that InstallShield generates a new product code (for installation projects), package code, and upgrade code (for Windows Installer–based installation projects), and a module ID for merge module projects.
