Specifying a Keyword and its Value in an .ini File
InstallShield 2020 Express Edition
The keywords in an .ini file are the lowest level of organization in the .ini file. Keywords store data that must persist between uses of an application.
Once you have added a .ini file to your project and set up one or more sections, you can add keywords to the sections and then configure the keyword’s properties. The properties of a keyword include the value for the keyword, as well as the action that should be performed (such as replace a data value or append to an existing data value).
To add a keyword to an .ini file:
| 1. | Open the INI File Changes view. |
| 2. | In the INI Files explorer, right-click the section that should contain the keyword, and then click Add Keyword. InstallShield adds a keyword item to the INI Files explorer. |
| 3. | Rename this new keyword, giving it the name of the keyword you want to modify. If it is a new entry, enter the name exactly as you want it to appear in the .ini file. |
| 4. | Edit the properties of the keyword. |
