Importing a DIM into a Project

Project:This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

When you import a DIM project into a Basic MSI project, InstallShield merges the DIM data into the Basic MSI project. The import is a one-time, irreversible action.

You may want to import a DIM project to troubleshoot problems with a product or its installation. When you are importing a DIM project, you have the option to back up your Basic MSI project (.ism) before the import; this option enables you to revert back to the base Basic MSI project without the imported DIM project.

To import a DIM into a specific feature in a Basic MSI project:

1. In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design.
2. In the Setup Design explorer, right-click the feature that you want to contain the DIM, and then click Import DIM Wizard. The Import DIM Wizard dialog box opens.
3. Complete each panel of the wizard.
