InstallShield 2019
If you have an InstallShield project (.ism file) that was created using InstallShield—Windows Installer Edition, that project is automatically upgraded to a Basic MSI project when you open it in InstallShield. See Converting a Basic MSI Project to an InstallScript MSI Project to learn how to convert your upgraded project to an InstallScript MSI project.
When you open the project, a dialog box appears to ask if you would like to upgrade your project.
| • | Click Yes to upgrade your project. Your project opens in the IDE. |
| • | Click No to leave the project unopened. |
A backup copy of your original project is created and stored in the location specified in the dialog.
Upgrading a Setup from the Command Line
You can also upgrade your setup project when you build it from the command line. Use the -u parameter to upgrade your setup project from the command line without building it.
Troubleshooting Upgrade Errors
Any errors that result from the upgrade are displayed in the output panel at the bottom of the IDE. For information on these errors, see Upgrade Errors and Warnings (Upgrading from InstallShield—Windows Installer Edition).
