Building multiple Product Configurations through visual studio
Hi,
My InstallShield project has multiple product configurations ( which use different names and release flags) and they all have a CDROM release under them. I want to be able to build all those configurations through visual studio using the configuration manager and the project configuration.
But each time I try to create a new solution configuration and map it to the configuration on the ISM project, it creates a new release configuration under the one marked as default configuration.
How do I go about accomplising this?
Thanks
Victor

Hi,
My InstallShield project also having multiple configurations. For your case, I have changed the "Default Product Configurations" to where I need to map the Visual Studio solution configuration and then created VS solution configuration. Now it will create under the specified default product configuration.
But I am facing very strange issue in build releases,
- In my project, I am having 3 product configurations and each having one 'Release'. So, my solution file(.sln) file having 3 SolutionConfigurationPlatforms.
- If I am changing the "Default Product Configurations" to any other configuration, It sets the 'postSolution' value (in .sln file) for all 3 release as current default productconfiguration release.
- For example, If I set the "Product Configuration 2" as my default, then it sets the "Release 2" configuration for other 2 product configuration releases.
Is there any article available for this kind of build configuration? or else, anyone please share the solution for this issue?
EDIT : What are all the parameters I need to pass in MSBuild command line to build 3 different configurations?
Issue one,(.sln file Global content)
Values should be like below (as like other .net projects)
Thanks,
Saravan
