How to NOT build redistributables every time?
Hi everyone,
I am working on a Basic MSI project with InstallShield 2009 Pro.
I created a CD-ROM installation media. In the IS under Support Files\Additional Files\Disk1 I place a support folder with different redistributables, with I want to use during my installation (see the screenshot). Because this support folder is ~600 MB with a lot of small files, every build takes about 10-12 minutes... 😞
The thing is - nothing changes in this folder!
Is it possible to avoid creating/copying this folder on every build?
Any other solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Vasil

I'm not sure it applies to support files (Support-Dateien), but perhaps see the help topic (in English) "Performing Quick Builds"; the commands it refers to are under the Build menu.
