Import DIM Wizard

InstallShield 2018

Project • This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

Use the Import DIM Wizard to identify a DIM that you want to statically import into a Basic MSI project. When you complete the wizard, InstallShield incorporates the project data of the DIM into the open Basic MSI project.

Note that statically importing a DIM is a design-time task. If you statically import a DIM into a project, its data becomes part of the Basic MSI project at the time of the import. If you later update the DIM project, the Basic MSI project is not updated with the latest changes in the DIM. In order to remove a statically imported DIM from a Basic MSI project, it would be necessary to identify each file, component, and other element from the DIM and manually remove it from the Basic MSI project.

To launch the Import DIM Wizard:

1. In the View Bar / View List under Organization, click Setup Design.
2. In the Setup Design explorer, right-click the feature that you want to contain the DIM, and then click Import DIM Wizard.

The Import DIM Wizard consists of the following panels:
