InstallShield version used for creating installation setup

I am using InstallShield 2009. We have some setups made in previous version of installshield but i am not sure which version is used.

Is it possible to know which version of installShield is used for creating the setup by looking into the setup.

On the setup, get properties and select the version tab and you can see the InstallShield version. InstallShield 12 will be File Version 12..., InstallShield 2008 will be File Version 14..., etc.

On another note, you can also determine the version by looking at the "SchemaVersion" in the .ism. We do this in some automation programs that we use to update installation packages where we need to know what version of InstallShield was used before we attempt to update.

If you have already migrated the old projects up to InstallShield 2009, there is a preserved schema of the old .ism which will be preserved for you during migration (MyProject.ismXXX).
