Building a Release
InstallShield 2020 ยป Basic MSI Tutorial
Before testing an installation, it is necessary to build a release to update your project settings. A release contains all of the files to be distributed to end users on a CD-ROM or from a network location.
The simplest way to build a release is to configure settings in the Release Wizard. The Release Wizard is where you specify release properties, such as the type of media (CD-ROM, for example) to use and whether to compress files on the media.
To begin using the Release Wizard:
| 1. | Click the Release Wizard button on the toolbar or choose Release Wizard from the Build menu. |
| 2. | In the Welcome panel, click Next to begin defining your release settings. |
