Project • This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript |

To open your project so that you can modify it through the automation interface, call OpenProject with the fully qualified path to your .ism or .dim file. This method is equivalent to loading a project in InstallShield.
