Dependencies Dialog Box

InstallShield 2020 Express Edition

The Dependencies dialog box displays a list of dependencies when you right-click an item in the Destination computer’s files pane of the Files view and click Dependencies from scan at build.

The dialog box provides results for assembly DLLs. If you launch the dialog box from Microsoft Visual Studio, the dialog box shows results for project outputs. If launched from InstallShield outside of Visual Studio, scan at build dependencies is disabled for project outputs.

Note:This is enabled only for portable executable files (for example, EXE, DLL, or OCX) and when the .NET Scan at Build property is set to Dependencies and Properties (via the COM and .NET Settings tab in the File Properties dialog box). If the dependency or one of its dependencies cannot be located, a red icon is displayed.

Dialog Box Settings

Dependency

This section lists all of the dependencies with a check box next to each. To exclude a dependency from the build, deselect the check box next to the dependency. To close the dialog box, click OK.

Note:Any new dependencies detected at build time—for files added after closing the Dependencies dialog box—are added to the build.
