Assigning Release Flags to a Chained .msi Package
InstallShield 2022
Project:The following project types support multiple-package installations that use transaction processing:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Suite/Advanced UI |
You can assign one or more release flags to a chained .msi package that you want to exclude from certain builds. For example, if you have a chained .msi package that should be included only in a special edition of your product that contains a special add-on that requires the chained .msi package, you can flag that chained package and include it only when it is needed.
To add a release flag to a chained .msi package that you have added to your installation project:
| 1. | In the View List under Media, click Releases. |
| 2. | In the Chained .msi Packages explorer, select the package that should contain the release flag. |
| 3. | For the Release flags setting, type a string. The string can be any combination of letters or numbers. To have more than one flag on a chained package, use a comma to separate the flags. |
To learn more about filtering chained .msi packages based on release flags, see Release Flags.
