InstallShield 2013 Express Edition
Tip: The following instructions apply to releases that are built within InstallShield (without integration with Visual Studio). For information on building an InstallShield release from within Visual Studio, see Building Releases in Microsoft Visual Studio.
To build a release:
| 1. | In the View List under Prepare for Release, click Releases. |
| 2. | In the Builds explorer, click the type of media that you want to build. |
| 3. | Edit the build settings. |
| 4. | Right-click the selected media type and then click Build. |
You can also build a release at the command line using IsCmdBld.exe.
InstallShield places the built installation package into a release location based on your project location. If the build failed and generated an error, the previous installation package, if any, is restored to the \DiskImages\Disk1 folder.
Tip: Ensure that Windows Explorer is not pointing to the Disk1 folder or a subfolder when you build your release. If it is pointing to the Disk1 folder, the build process will continue indefinitely. If Explorer is accessing a subfolder, you will generate an error.
If you are creating non-compressed builds, additional folders named after specific operating systems may be included with the installation. This handles cases when files destined for a specific operating system have the same name as those targeted for another operating system.
