Using InstallShield 2011 I created an InstallScript Project. All this script does is create 1 registry key under hklm\software. I ran this on a Windows XP workstation and it does create the registry key. But, I noticed that it also creates a new folder called: C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{1FF5D976-D61F-4B0F-8C24-D97C8E2E7209} and in this folder is the entire contents of the InstallScript. The setup.exe, data1.cab, setup.ini etc..... a total of 9 files.
Why? And how do you prevent this from happening? This folder is 2.5 MB but what would happen if I did a huge InstallScript that was 5GB.
I'd like to trun of this so called "feature". Any help would be great. Thanks.
If you had a large installation, the footprint here would still be small. It does not cache the entire installation's set of files; instead it caches enough to enable uninstallation. I suspect you can disable this by specifying No uninstall or maintenance as your Maintenance Experience in the General Information View, but only do that is that's really what you want.
