Configuring General Project Settings

InstallShield 2019

InstallShield stores your project settings in a single installation project file (.ism file). This file stores all of the information about your project. In the General Information view, you can edit basic information about your installation project—including the author’s name, the languages that the project supports, and any comments that you want to include.

The General Information view is also where you configure general product information such as the product name, the product code (GUID), and the version number. A product is the top level of organization in an installation project. The installation is further divided into features and components, which are subsets of your product. Although an installation can contain multiple features and components, it can have only one product.

For detailed information about each of the project and projects settings that are available, see General Information View.
