I'm now trying to create an installer of "AppXXX.exe" by InstallShield2011 + Windows 7 64bit. Installer project is "Basic MSI"
"AppXXX.exe" has version and we are planing to install it into separate folder depends on version. For example, Program Folder - AppXXX - 1.0.0 - AppXXX.exe - 1.1.0 - AppXXX.exe And strings shown in install dialog will be "AppXXX 1.0.0".
Therefore, we have a lot of strings "1.0.0" in InstallShield project property sheet. For example, [General Information] "Product Name" : AppXXX 1.0.0 "Product Version" : 1.0.0 INSTALLDIR : ......\AppXXX\1.0.0
[Releases] Product Name : AppXXX 1.0.0 Product Version : 1.0.0
And so on.
My question is: Must I change these strings "1.0.0" by hand via GUI of InstallShield when version changes? It is annoying and caussation of mistake. So, is there a way to change property of InstallShield project by script or commandline?
Self-reply I found that "-z" option of command line build "IsCmdBld.exe" is a solution. But I have still questions. - How to change property whose value is given automaticallly such as "Product Code". - I could not change INSTALLDIR I set this property "[ProgramFilesFolder]XXX\YYY\100" via GUI. Then I changed this via "-z" option like, "INSTALLDIR=[ProgramFilesFolder]XXX\YYY\110" Then installer shows error message. -Can I chang value in Released page? (Product Name or Product Version in Releases)
