Building from the Command Line

InstallShield 2016 Express Edition

To build your installation from the command line:

1. Open the Command Prompt window.
2. Change the directory to the following:

InstallShield Program Files Folder\System

3. Type the name of the command-line executable (IsCmdBld.exe) and the necessary parameters.

The following statement illustrates running IsCmdBld.exe to build a release:

IsCmdBld.exe -p "C:\InstallShield 2016 Projects\MyProject1.ise" -c COMP -e y

The first parameter, starting with -p, is the path to the InstallShield project file (.ise) that you want to build. The second parameter, -c COMP, specifies that you want your package to be compressed into one file. The final parameter, -e y, specifies that you want to include Setup.exe with the build.
