In the navigation pane there is 'Property Manager'
Create a new entry here, the property you create must be all in capital letters so that it is public.

Hi Vijay.
thanks a lot for your quick response. But I do not see Property manager in the navigation pane.
I am using Installshield 2010 Limited Edition which comes along with Visual Studio 2010. Please let me know where can I Find the Property Manager in InstallShield 2010. I am attaching a screen shot of my workspace for your reference.

Regards,

I see, I haven;t ever used this version of installshield, i use the premier edition.

Hope someone comes along to help you.

Hi Harshal,
For assistance with the InstallShield Limited Edition, please post in the InstallShield Limited Edition forum.

However in this case I'll tell you that the property table is not available in the Limited Edition (although conditions and custom actions can still reference properties). Public properties can still be set at the command line, but as editing dialogs requires the Professional Edition, that will also be unavailable.
