InstallShield 2019

Project • This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
DIM
InstallScript MSI
Merge Module
MSI Database
MSM Database
Transform

This information does not apply to InstallScript projects; however, the InstallScript language includes .ini file functions for modifying .ini file data. You can use these functions in InstallScript projects.

InstallShield lets you import an existing .ini file into your project. Once you have imported the .ini file, you can use the INI File Changes view to configure the changes that you want to be made on the target system as needed.

To import an existing .ini file:

1. In the View List under System Configuration, click INI File Changes.
2. Right-click the INI Files explorer and then click Import INI File. The Open dialog box opens.
3. Select the .ini file that you want to import, and then click Open.

InstallShield imports the .ini file, along with all of its sections, keywords, and values, into your project.
