Hiding of application stub dll's after installation using installshield
We are using InstallShield 2012 Spring Express.In our package we have few stub dll's that are required for the execution of our applications.After installation,these stub dll's are along with the application in the path specified for the exe's,but they should be hidden from user's view.
can anybody tell me if there is any option to hide these stub dlls from user's view in installation procedure.
Please note that Absence of these stub dlls can affect execution of our applications and these stub dlls should not be visible to user.

If using MSI then set the msidbFileAttributesHidden flag in the File Table.
If not using MSI, then launch attrib.exe (a OS tool), in InstallScript with LaunchAppAndWait, and set the hidden flag (on either files or folders).

To mark a file as hidden in the Express edition of InstallShield:
[LIST=1]
In the Files view, right-click the file that you want to mark as hidden and then click Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.
Select the Overide system attributes check box if it is not already selected.
Select the Hidden check box.
[LIST=1]
