Specifying a Section in an .ini File

InstallShield 2020 Express Edition

Once you have specified the .ini file you would like to edit, you can specify which section of that file you want to change. Each .ini file is divided into one or more sections, and each section contain keywords. Sections are identified by the square brackets surrounding them—[SectionName], for example.

To specify an .ini file section:

1. Open the INI File Changes view.
2. Add or import an .ini file if you have not already done so.
3. In the INI Files explorer, right-click the .ini file for which you want to create a section and then click Add Section. InstallShield adds a section item with a folder icon to the INI Files explorer.
4. Rename this new section, giving it the name of the section you want to edit in the target .ini file. The square brackets are not needed.

After you have added a section to your .ini file you can add a keyword.
