Exporting a Dialog to an .isd File for Use in Other Projects

InstallShield 2022

If you want to reuse an end-user dialog in other projects, you can export the dialog as an .isd file and then import it into other projects as needed. The .isd file contains the behavior and layout information for the dialog.

To export a dialog to an .isd file:

1. In the View List under User Interface, click Dialogs.
2. In the Dialogs explorer, right-click the dialog and then click Export to Dialog File. The Save As dialog box opens.
3. Browse to the folder to which you want to save the .isd file. You can rename the file if required.
4. Click OK.

You can now use the .isd file to import the dialog into another installation project.
