Upgrade Warning 289: File Link Does Not Exist for Dynamically Linked File

InstallShield 2019

In InstallShield Professional, dynamically linking to your source files allows you to add the contents of complete folders and subfolders to your setup without hard-coding paths or file names. If you add files to the source folder or remove files, the list of included files was dynamically updates when you build your release.

Upgrading to InstallShield 2019

When you upgrade an InstallShield Professional project to InstallShield 2019, and include a file via dynamic file linking that does not exist, Upgrade Warning 289 appears. The warning informs you that a file link has been created, but the file does not exist.
