Installing Assemblies
InstallShield 2022
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Basic MSI |
| • | DIM |
| • | InstallScript MSI |
| • | Merge Module |
| • | MSI Database |
| • | MSM Database |
| • | Transform |
Note:The recommended way to add a .NET assembly to your project is to add an assembly as a component’s key file and select Properties Only for the component’s .NET Scan at Build setting.
In the Assembly section of a component’s Advanced Settings, you can add a private or global Win32 assembly or .NET assembly to be registered when the current component is installed. Using assemblies helps you install products that are self-contained, without affecting other applications on the system.
Note that a component can contain only one assembly.
