Selecting the Media Type and General Options

InstallShield 2018 » InstallScript Project Tutorial

Media Type Panel

In the Media Type panel, you specify the type of media for which you are building a release. The media type you specify indicates the size of the disk image folders the Release Wizard creates: when you build a release for CD-ROM, the Release Wizard divides your disk images into folders, each of which is smaller than 650 MB.

For this tutorial, select CD-ROM.

Click Next to specify general options for your release.

General Options Panel

The General Options panel lets you do the following:

Create a self-extracting executable file for distributing your installation
Pass command line options to Setup.exe
Pass preprocessor variable definitions to the compiler
Select whether to place the compiled script file (.inx file) in a cabinet file

For this tutorial, leave the panel’s default settings unchanged.
