InstallShield 2018

Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

If you are modifying a Basic MSI project that contains one or more DIM references and you want to edit the DIM project or see detailed information about it, you can open that project with the click of a link. Note that you must be able to access the DIM project from the machine on which you are modifying the Basic MSI project.

To open a referenced DIM project from within a Basic MSI project:

1. In the View List under Organization, click DIM References.
2. In the DIMs explorer, select the DIM that you want to open.
3. On the General tab, click the Launch DIM Project link.

A new instance of InstallShield launches, and the DIM project opens within InstallShield.
