Configuring Minor Upgrade Settings

InstallShield 2020

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI

When you add a minor upgrade item in the Upgrades view, a general setting you can modify is how a setup launcher (if your build configuration includes a setup launcher) should behave if an earlier product version is present. You can modify this setting in the Upgrades view by selecting Upgrade Windows Installer Setup and clicking the Common tab.

Once you have added a minor upgrade item in the Upgrades view and made sure that it is selected, you can browse for the .msi database of the earlier product version that you want to target in the Setup to Upgrade setting for that minor upgrade item.

You can also specify release flags in the Release Flags setting to exclude the minor upgrade item from the build.
