What’s New in InstallShield 2013 SP1 Express Edition
InstallShield 2019 Express Edition
InstallShield 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes changes that offer support for the final released versions of Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Visual Studio 2013.
Ability to Target Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Systems
InstallShield enables you to specify that your installation requires Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. It also lets you build feature conditions for these operating systems.
The InstallShield prerequisites that should be installable on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 have been updated so that they are installed on those systems if needed. Previously, the prerequisites were not run by default on those systems. This applies to the following InstallShield prerequisites:

|
•

|
•

New Predefined Path Variable for the Visual Studio Solution Folder
A new predefined path variable called VSSolutionFolder is available in projects to reference a higher-level base directory. This support enables you to have in your InstallShield projects static links to files in sibling projects that are within the Visual Studio solution folder; if you work on the projects on a different machine, the static links that use the VSSolutionFolder path variable can reference the correct paths for the files in sibling projects.
The VSSolutionFolder path variable is defined automatically whenever an InstallShield project is opened from within a Visual Studio solution. It is also defined automatically if you are using MSBuild to build a solution that contains an InstallShield project. However, in other scenarios, when the InstallShield project is opened without the Visual Studio solution, VSSolutionFolder cannot be defined automatically. For example, if you open the InstallShield project in InstallShield directly, without having Visual Studio open, VSSolutionFolder is not defined. Similarly, if you use the command-line tool IsCmdBld.exe, or if you use MSBuild with an .isproj file, VSSolutionFolder is not defined. If you are using MSBuild to build a release in InstallShield project, use the PathVariables parameter to set the value of VSSolutionFolder. This parameter is exposed as the ItemGroup InstallShieldPathVariableOverrides when the default targets file is used.
If you include in your InstallShield project a source file whose path includes the VSSolutionFolder path variable and build it in an environment that does not support the VSSolutionFolder path variable, build errors such as the following ones may occur:
|
•
|
-6103: Could not find file <VSSolutionFolder>\MyFile.exe |
|
•
|
-6271: File <VSSolutionFolder>\MyFile.exe not found. An error occurred building the MsiFileHash table record for this file. Verify that the file exists in the specified location. |
