Description |
|
The Files view is the main way you add files to your installation project. This view behaves similarly to the Windows Explorer, allowing you to drag-and-drop files into your installation project. |
|
|
Although you can select which feature you want to add your files to in the Files view, if you want to change which feature a file is associated with after the file has been added to your installation, you need to do so in the Files and Features view. |
|
|
Redistributables—InstallShield prerequisites, merge modules, and objects—enable you to add distinct pieces of functionality to your installation project. Examples of these types of functionality include Visual Basic run-time DLLs and the Microsoft C run-time libraries. |
|
|
The Dependencies view includes three different scanners that add dependency files to your installation. These scanners include a Visual Basic project scanner, a static scanner that scans files already included in your project and adds their dependencies, and a dynamic scanner that scans a running application for any dependencies. |
