InstallShield 2019
Project • This information applies to InstallScript projects.
With an InstallScript project, you can define and build a full release for an upgrade. A full release includes all of the files linked into the installation project. By default, this type of release behaves as a first-time installation if an earlier version of the product is not already present on the target system. It also is capable of installing over an earlier version and replacing that version completely.
When you create a full release to update one or more earlier versions of a product, you must specify whether the release is version specific or non-version specific:
| • | Non-version specific—This is the default option. A non-version-specific full release can be installed on a system that does not have an earlier version of the product. It can also update any earlier version of the product. |
| • | Version specific—A version-specific full release updates only the versions that you specify should be updated. If you set your full release to be version specific but you do not also specify version numbers, the update can be applied to any earlier version of your product. |
