InstallShield 2019 R3 : Compress and stream MSI and Data1.cab to Setup.exe

Hi,

I am trying InstallShield 2019 R3 in evaluation mode. Opened and converted a ISM project file(InstallShield Premier 2018) used for production builds to InstallShield 2019 R3 and made a build. To my surprise, the .CAB, .MSI files which were available separately along with Setup.exe in the build output folder, were compressed into 'Setup.exe'.

With InstallShield 2018 Size of Setup.exe was :  3.7 MB

Wiht InstallShield 2019 R3 , size of Setup.exe is : 78.8MB ( the MSI file, Data1.cab were streamed and compressed into Setup.exe)

Please find the attached screenshot.

Later in the setting.xml,

I changed to : <StreamCompression exclude="*.CAB,*.MSI,*.isn" compressionlevel="-1"/>

But still there is not change in the build output. Is this because, I am trying evaluation mode?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Unnikrishnan
