Specifying Publishing Information
InstallShield 2022
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
The Publishing advanced setting for a component enables you to specify publishing information for your component. Publishing is a type of advertising (just-in-time installation) in which no user-interface elements are created for the component during installation, but the component can be installed through Add or Remove Programs or when an installed component requests the published component from the installer.
To publish a component that you have created:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design (in installation projects only) or Components. |
|
2.
|
In the explorer, expand the component that you want to publish, and under Advanced Settings, select Publishing. The Publishing explorer appears in a separate pane. |
|
3.
|
Right-click the Publishing explorer and then click New ComponentID to generate an ID for your new component. InstallShield adds a unique componentID and a corresponding qualifier. |
|
4.
|
In the Publishing explorer, click the new qualifier and configure its value. |
In the Custom Actions and Sequences view of an installation project, you can set the conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for your product to be advertised on the target system.
To set the advertisement conditions in an installation project:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Custom Actions and Sequences. |
|
2.
|
In the Sequences explorer, expand the Advertisement item, and then the Execute item. |
|
3.
|
Click the appropriate Execute action, and then configure its Conditions setting as needed. |
