Command-Line Parameters to Specify File Description and Copyright Notice

InstallShield 2025 R1 Express Edition introduces two new command-line parameters that allow you to customize file description and product copyright notice for a setup.exe file. These parameters must be used with the ISCmdBld.exe command-line tool when building a release to ensure that the setup.exe executable contains the desired data. The following are the new command-line parameters:

-fd—Use this parameter to specify the desired file description for a setup.exe file, overriding the default file description.
-fc—Use this parameter to specify the desired product copyright notice for a setup.exe file, overriding the default copyright notice.

For more information, see ISCmdBld.exe in the InstallShield Express Edition Help Library.
