Project • This information applies to the following project types:

• Advanced UI
• Suite/Advanced UI

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.

When you are building a conditional statement for a wizard interface condition in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project, you can create a Mode condition. The Mode setting shows the condition that is configured for checking the mode in which the Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation is running. To define this type of condition, configure the subsetting under the Mode setting as needed.

The following subsetting is available for this condition.
