Create an installer in a single file
Hello,
When I build InstallShield project in Visual Studio 2012 I get the msi and setup.exe files, but all output files (exe, dll, mp4...) are in "program files" folder. Is no posible to embedded all files in on msi installer? I do not care if the file is 300 MB or more.

Hi,
Kindly navigate to Prepare for Releases View-> Releases-> Build Tab.
You can find Compressed and Uncompressed releases as the options. Please select Compressed and in the Setup.exe Tab, make the Setup Launcher as No.
This might not include all the files if it exceeds the limited size, but your installation can be compressed into one by these options.
Please let us know if you need any further information on this.
Thanks,
Chaitra

Hellor Chaitra, thanks for your reply.
I followed the steps, and I get a msi file and cab file. Is not posible to embed all in msi file?

Hello,
You can try single image media type to compress all files into a single MSI.

Hello Chiranjeevi,
When I build the installer it creates only DVD-5 intaller. Where can I configure it to build single image media?
