Setting location of Prerequisite for install build
I would like to know if prerequisites can be located in any other folder then C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\SetupPrerequisites?
Merge modules can be stored in local or a common Respository folder so that they can be shared by many different developers and the build machines, but can the prerequisites be handled this way?
At the moment we have to copy prerequisites around to other developer machines or check into source control and always have to update the SetupPrerequisite folder just in case someone has updated a file.
So is there anyway to have a shared location and or have it so that the build machine can re-direct the install to find the files in a different folder?
Thanks,
I hope that helps.
This request is logged as enhancement IOC-000054166. As a workaround, you can use the Direct Editor view to modify the location: edit the ISBuildSourcePath column of the ISSetupPrerequisites table. You can use path variables in that location (for example, ).
I hope that helps. "
Does this solution work for InstallShield 2009 as well? I tried using a path variable in ISBuildSourcePath column of the ISSetupPrerequisites table, but it causes a yellow exclamation point to appear by the name in the Redistributables view, and the prq can no longer be edited from there.
Thanks!
