Need advice on managing projects/release/versions
Hi all,

 

I'm kinda new to InstallShield and I'm having a hard time deciding how to manage my project.

 

We release a new major release every 3 months and I was wondering if I had to "duplicate" the project file for each version. If I do so, what's the point of having multiple Releases in a single project if every version needs a new project file ?

 

Thank you for your time!

    While I wish I had an answer for you, I'm in the same boat. I'm coming from Wise and I was taught the method of duplicating the project file. After looking at the releases tab, it looks like this would be a better way of managing but I'm confused as to how it works if I have to build an older release. Does it keep the files in the disk image or does it refresh them if I select build on that old release. I wish it would have an option of automatically adding previous releases in the project to the upgrade tab too.
