Requirements View

InstallShield 2023 Express Edition

The Requirements view enables you to specify certain machine environments and software that your application requires in order to run properly. If these system or software requirements are not met, the installation exits. Because your application cannot be installed on systems that do not meet your hardware or software requirements, you may want to set those requirements liberally.

System Hardware Requirements

The following table describes the options available.
