AddSuitePackage Method (Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI)

InstallShield 2022 » Automation Interface » Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI

Project:This information applies to Suite/Advanced UI projects.

Edition:The Advanced UI project type is available in the InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.

The AddSuitePackage method adds a package (an .msi package or an .msp patch) to a Windows Installer transaction in the project. It also adds the specified target file and options for adding additional files. Using this method is similar to adding a package to a transaction in the Packages view in InstallShield. You can set the properties of the new package with the ISWiSuitePackage object.

To add other types of packages to the project, see AddSuitePackage Method (Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI).
