InstallShield has an XML File Changes view that lets you modify .config files and other XML files at run time.

Which project type do you think you'll be using?

If you select Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI, you can set Windows Installer properties for data that end users enter in dialogs, or other configuration information that is determined during the installation, in your product’s XML files. Here are some help topics that may help you get started with that:

For an InstallScript project, you can use text substitution. Here are some related help topics:

Those help topics are also in the InstallShield Help Library that is installed with InstallShield. You can press F1 from within any view to see help that applies to that view.

I hope that helps.
