InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition
A file often relies on functions in other files to perform a task. However, you may not be aware of all these other files—known as dependencies—when you include your application's files in your installation project. InstallShield offers three scanning wizards to assist you in identifying and working with these files. You can access these scanners in the Dependencies view:
|
Scanning Option |
Function |
|
Perform Static Scanning |
The Static Scanning Wizard looks at portable executable files (for example, .exe, .ocx, .com, .tlb, .hlp, and .chm) in your project and checks for dependencies that they may require. |
|
Perform Dynamic Scanning |
The Dynamic Scanning Wizard monitors your system while an executable file is running and checks for .dll or .ocx files that may be required by the executable file. |
|
Import Visual Basic Project |
The Visual Basic Wizard scans your Visual Basic project for all dependencies and optionally lets you add them to your project. |
If you use the Static, Dynamic, and Visual Basic scanning wizards, you can specify files that you want to be included or excluded automatically any time that you perform a static or dynamic scan through InstallShield. For more information, see Filtering Files in Dependency Scanners.
