Releases View

InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition

When you build a release, InstallShield takes all of the information from your installation project and compiles it into a Windows Installer installation package (.msi file) capable of installing your product onto any supported Windows platform.

After you have completely designed your project in InstallShield, you are ready to build a release for testing and, ultimately, distribution to your customers. The Releases view contains settings that indicate how InstallShield should build your release. To learn more about the settings in the Releases view, see the following:

• Express Settings
• Media Types
• Build Tab
• Setup.exe Tab
• Signing Tab
• .NET/J# Tab
• Internet Tab
• Events Tab
