How to manually rebuild ISSetup.dll
All,
Does anybody know how to manually rebuild ISSetup.dll.
With InstallShield 10.5 whenever I had to make changes to only my InstallShield script code I could compile the .rul files into the setup.inx and then use Orca to stream the setup.inx into the binary table. As my MSI file takes over an hour to build this saves me A LOT of time.
However now I have moved to InstallShield 2008 and see that setup.inx is now part of ISSetup.dll, which is streamed into the binary table. So that I can still make quick timely changes to my InstallShield script code, is there a command line utility or something that allows me to just rebuild the ISSetup.dll and then I can stream it into the binary table.
Thanks
Simon

In the IDE, the "compile" option should do this for you, both compiling the inx and streaming it into the ISSetup.dll and binary table. ISCmdBld's -q3 option might map to this...
