How to concat Strings or Properties
Hello experts,
I've got a problem with Installshield 2009 Premier.
I'd like to store a year (e.g. 2009) in the string or property table.
And then I'd like to concat this string or Property to an existig string.
E.g.:
I'd like to select the string "This installer database contains the logic and data required to install Product "
In the comments of the "Summary Information Stream"
Behind this string I'd like to add "2009"
I need the 2009 at different places in the project so, I'd like to have it only once in the project.
I tried different things like:
"This installer database contains the logic and data required to install Product " +{ID_STRING_YEAR}
"This installer database contains the logic and data required to install Product " +[ProductYear]
"This installer database contains the logic and data required to install Product " +
But in all cases Installshield doesn't replace the additional String to 2009.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot and excuse my bad english 🙂

Alas, the Summary Information Stream values do not accept Formatted expressions, which means that [PropertyName] values will not be expanded.
One option might be to use Automation to read the value from the Property table and then write it to the Summary Information Stream before performing a build.
