Specifying a Run-Time Location for a Specific InstallShield Prerequisite

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript
InstallScript MSI

InstallShield enables you to specify a different run-time location for each InstallShield prerequisite in your project.

To specify a different run-time location for each InstallShield prerequisite in your installation:

1. In the View List under Application Data, click Redistributables (in a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI project) or Prerequisites (in an InstallScript project).
2. Select the check box for one of the InstallShield prerequisites that you want to include in your installation.
3. Right-click the InstallShield prerequisite and click Properties. The InstallShield Prerequisites Properties dialog box opens.
4. In the Build Location list, click the appropriate option.

Note that the location that you specify can be overridden at the release level. To avoid overriding the value that you selected for an individual InstallShield prerequisite, the InstallShield Prerequisites Location setting at the release level must be set to Follow Individual Selections. For more information, see Specifying the Run-Time Location for InstallShield Prerequisites at the Release Level.

Tip:If an InstallShield prerequisite is added to a project as a dependency of another prerequisite, the location for the InstallShield prerequisite dependency follows the location setting of the InstallShield prerequisite that requires it.
