Supersedence Dialog Box

Edition:This information applies to Basic MSI projects.

The Supersedence dialog box opens when you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Supersedence setting of the General Information view. This dialog box lets you specify one or more other .msi packages that you want to be superseded by the installation that you are creating. InstallShield includes the list of .msi packages that you provide in a software identification tag, which provides data that AdminStudio includes when users import packages into the AdminStudio Application Catalog. AdminStudio makes this information available to users for review and tests before publishing to Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

When you are selecting superseded .msi packages, you can specify earlier versions of the current installation. You can also optionally select .msi packages of other tools. For example, if you are working on an installation for an image editing tool, you can have your installation supersede other image editing tools that your enterprise no longer supports.

To specify an .msi package that should be superseded by the current installation, click the Add Superseded .msi File button, and then select the package that you want to include in the list.
