InstallShield 2019
If you have an Express project type that was created using the Express edition of InstallShield, that project is upgraded to a Basic MSI project when you open it in the Premier or Professional edition of InstallShield. This upgrade is done because Basic MSI is the comparable project type for the Express project type. QuickPatch projects created with the Express edition remain as QuickPatch projects in the Premier and Professional editions of InstallShield.
When you open any project created with the Express edition in the Premier or Professional edition, InstallShield converts the file from an .ise file to an .ism file. A backup of your .ise file is saved before the conversion takes place.
Billboard properties from Express edition projects will not be migrated since they are not supported in Basic MSI projects. You will receive warning 701 when the billboards property is specified in Express edition projects.
To upgrade an Express edition project:
Open the project in the Premier or Professional edition of InstallShield. A dialog box opens to ask if you would like to upgrade your project.
| • | Click Yes to upgrade your project. Your project opens in InstallShield. |
| • | 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 box.
