Building Your Installation
InstallShield 2020 » Basic MSI Tutorial
After defining your installation project’s architecture, adding your application files, creating shortcuts, and selecting dialogs, you are ready to build the installation.
The Build Installation page lets you specify what type of distribution you want to build and, optionally, the location to which you want to copy the distribution files.
To build the installation you have just created:
| 1. | Select the CD-ROM option. |
| 2. | Click Build Installations. |
The Output window opens and displays information about the progress of the build.
Note:The build generates warning -7235. This is expected. You can continue to the next step without resolving this warning, or to resolve this warning, configure the settings in the Software Identification Tag area of the General Information view as needed. If Yes is selected for the Use Software Identification Tag setting but you have not entered values in one or more of the required identification settings (the Unique ID, Tag Creator, and Tag Creator ID settings in the General Information view), build warning -7235 occurs, once for each of the settings that are blank. For more information, refer to Including a Software Identification Tag for Your Product.
In the next step, you will run your installation.
