Assigning Release Flags to InstallShield Prerequisites
InstallShield 2022
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
• | Basic MSI |
• | InstallScript MSI |
• | Suite/Advanced UI |
You can set release flags for InstallShield prerequisites that you want to exclude from certain builds. For example, if you have an InstallShield prerequisite that should be included only in a special edition of your product that contains a special add-on that requires the InstallShield prerequisite, you can flag that InstallShield prerequisite and include it only when it is needed.
To add a release flag to an InstallShield prerequisite that you have added to your installation project:
1. | In the View List under Application Data, click Redistributables. |
2. | Right-click the InstallShield prerequisite and click Properties. The InstallShield Prerequisites Properties dialog box opens. |
3. | In the Release Flags box, type a string. The string can be any combination of letters or numbers. To have more than one flag on a prerequisite, use a comma to separate the flags. |
To learn more about filtering InstallShield prerequisites based on release flags, see Release Flags.
