Using Help

InstallShield 2020 Express Edition

Revenera understands the importance of having useful information and help resources at your fingertips. In addition to the inline help embedded within various views of the InstallShield interface, InstallShield includes a help library that is installed with the product, an online help system that is available on the Web, and documentation that is available in PDF format.

InstallShield Help Library

When you have questions about your product, first consult the InstallShield Help Library. It is a complete user guide.

You can access the InstallShield Help Library from the Help menu in InstallShield, by pressing F1, or by clicking Help buttons in the interface.

No Internet connectivity is required to view the InstallShield Help Library. Essentially, the online help viewer is a tool that you can use to display, search, and filter technical information based on your personal needs.

Using Context-Sensitive Help

While working on a project, clicking a software object displays its help information in the Help window. This is also called “context-sensitive” help.

Help information is also available for each of the properties of a selected software object displayed in the Explorer window, which provides instructions for setting that property.

Web-Based Online Help

Web-based online help is available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on our Web site at http://docs.revenera.com. This help resource center provides near real time updates to documentation.

Documentation as PDF

InstallShield documentation is also available as a PDF at: https://community.revenera.com/.
