Adding files & folders to ISM using Installshield for MSI build
I'm sure this is simple. I have to add files and folders to ProgramFilesFolder in the ISM. I launched the Component Wizard by right clicking on ProgFilesFolder in the ISM. I added the files/folders by browsing to them and selecting. I now have folders and files showing in the ISM but all have an "!" mark on the files - see attached screenshot. This also true of the files within the folders added to the ISM. How do I get Installshield to make these folders/files viable?
Thank you in advance!

The ! mark you are getting is because your files are added as a component and the component is not linked with any of your features.
You can create a new component through Components wizard, add all your files in it (static/ dynamic linking as require), set target directory for new component as programs directory and linked it to required feature
