InstallShield 2019 Express Edition
Editing .ini files found on the target system can be hazardous, especially if those .ini files are used by the operating system for standard functionality, such as Boot.ini. With InstallShield, .ini file changes can be performed right in the InstallShield interface. Editing an .ini file involves three tasks, which are described below.

Description |
|
The first step in creating an .ini file change is to create a reference to the file you want to edit. In order to do this you need to know the name and location of the file you want to edit. If the file is not in the location you specify, no changes to this file can be made. You can also import an .ini file. |
|
|
Once you have specified the .ini file you want to edit, the next step is to specify which section of that file you want to change. INI files are divided into sections, each section containing keywords. Sections are identified by the square brackets surrounding them—[SectionName], for example. |
|
|
INI File keywords are the lowest level of organization in an INI file. These keywords store data that must persist between uses of an application. |
For details about each of the settings that you can configure for .ini file changes, see:
