InstallShield 2019
Project • This information applies to Suite/Advanced UI projects.
Edition • The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
InstallShield lets you add Basic MSI and InstallScript project files (.ism) as packages to a Suite/Advanced UI project. When you start a build of a release for a Suite/Advanced UI project that includes one or more InstallShield project packages, InstallShield first builds the designated releases in the associated InstallShield projects, and includes them as packages in the Suite/Advanced UI installation that it generates. InstallShield adds the output of the Basic MSI and InstallScript projects to the Suite/Advanced UI installation as .msi and .hdr packages.
Note that to include a Basic MSI or InstallScript project in your Suite/Advanced UI project, the Basic MSI or InstallScript package must have been saved in the same version of InstallShield as the Suite/Advanced UI project.
To add a Basic MSI project or an InstallScript project to your Suite/Advanced UI project:
| 1. | In the View List under Organization, click Packages. |
| 2. | Right-click the Packages explorer and then click New InstallShield Project Package (.ism). The Select the installation file for this package dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Select the .ism file that you want to add to your Suite/Advanced UI project, and then click Open. |
InstallShield adds the project to the Packages explorer. Configure its settings in the right pane. The Product Configuration setting (for a Basic MSI project package) and the Release setting (for a Basic MSI or InstallScript project package) enables you to select which release you want InstallShield to include in the Suite/Advanced UI installation.
To learn more about the inclusion of InstallScript packages in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI projects, see Special Considerations for InstallScript Packages in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
