InstallShield Skin Customization Kit - InstallShield 12
I'm trying to use the 'InstallShield Skin Customization Kit' for 2008 to create a custom skin, which I've done (at least in theory). Per Step 5, I need to "replace the *.ISN file in the disk 1 folder with the new one."
There is no such file there. How or where can I add my skin(s) or to the listing shown in the 'Dialog/Skins' area of the InstallShield application?
I have the exact same problem. No isn available to replace?? en no skin functionality in het dialogs view.
To extract the source files out of a “.isn” or “.skin” file, the following steps had to be done:
1. Make the following new folders (with no spaces in the path):
C:\skins
C:\skins\extracted\blue
C:\skins\new_isn_files
2. Copy the InstallShield Skin Customization Kit files ‘CreateSkinFile.exe’
and ‘CSF.dll’ into the new folder “C:\skins”.
3. Copy the “skin” you want to extract into the folder “C:\skins”.
(The “skin” I extracted was “Blue.skin” and was located in the
InstallShield folder “C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS12\Skins”.)
4. Create a batch file called "Extract_blue_skin.bat" that contains the
following text (and then run the batch file):
: This batch file will extract the SKIN file "Blue.skin".
: The files CreateSkinFile.exe, CSF.dll, and Blue.skin all have
: to be in the same folder "C:\skins".
: The extracted files will be created in
: folder "C:\skins\extracted\blue"
cd C:\skins
pause
CreateSkinFile.exe -extract C:\skins\Blue.skin C:\skins\extracted\blue
pause
==============================================
5. To build a new modified .isn file, make your changes to the "skin.ini"
which is located in the folder "C:\skins\extracted\blue". Then create
another batch file called "Build_MY_ISN_BLUE.bat" that contains the
following text (and then run the batch file):
: This batch file will build a new .isn file.
: The files CreateSkinFile.exe, CSF.dll, and Blue.skin all have
: to be in the same folder "C:\skins"
cd C:\skins
pause
CreateSkinFile.exe C:\skins\extracted\blue
C:\skins\new_isn_files\MY_blue.isn
pause
=============================================
6. Copy the newly created "MY_blue.isn" to the InstallShield skins folder
(usually C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS12\Skins").
7. Use the InstallShield IDE, under User Interface - Dialogs and pick the
MY_blue skin.
DialogSetInfo(DLG_INFO_ALTIMAGES, "", TRUE);

rename file setup.inx in setup.isn if you make that specification in Director Editor because new compliers make that in setup.inx
