Upgrading from Earlier Versions of InstallShield

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

If you have setup projects that were created with earlier versions of InstallShield or InstallShield Express, you can open those projects with your new version of InstallShield. Because of the underlying technical differences between earlier versions and InstallShield 2019 Express Edition, the upgrade process does not always produce a one-to-one correlation between what was in your old project and what makes it into the new project. For example, InstallShield objects, which existed in earlier versions of InstallShield Express, have since been replaced by merge modules. In some cases, what may have been two objects in your old project could be replaced by a single merge module in your new project.

To learn more about migrating from earlier versions of InstallShield, see this section of the documentation.
