Checking Projects out of Source Control
InstallShield 2022
InstallShield lets you check out an InstallShield project from your source code control system.
Tip:You can omit steps 1 and 2 if you selected the Check out the project when edited check box on the Source Control tab of the Options dialog box; InstallShield displays this dialog box when you click Options on the Tools menu. As soon as you make a change to the project (anything that enables the Save button on the toolbar), InstallShield adds it to your source code control system.
To check a project out of your source code control program:
| 1. | Open the project in InstallShield. |
| 2. | On the Project menu, point to Source Control, and click Check Out. |
| 3. | If you selected the Use dialog for checkout check box on the Source Control tab of the Options dialog box, you are prompted for your comments in the Check Out dialog box. |
| 4. | Enter comments as appropriate, and then click OK. |
Your project is now checked out of your source control program, and you can edit the local copy before checking it in.
Note:The project is not automatically checked in to source control when you close the project in InstallShield. Check your project in (from within InstallShield) before closing it.
