You need to create a folder in your machine C:\Data and copy files in to it and the same will be copied to C:\Test folder in your docker image.

docker run -it -v "C:\Data:C:\Test" flexerasoftware/installshield:sab2021r2 cmd

Which files I need to copy into C:\Data folder ?

varul · ‎Jul 18, 2022

The files need to build the project ism and the files added in project file(ism)

In KB article below last steps is mentioned how to use the iscmdbld.exe to build project in docker

Under Build project Via docker section

similar steps you need to do, once you pulled the image,

EX:

Run the following command to create a container and mount directory in an interactive process (which is nothing but C:\Data and C:\Test in above shared example)
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2019 SAB\System

Run the following command to build your project:

IsCmdBld.exe -p "C:\InstallShield Projects\MyAppProject.ism"

C:\InstallShield Projects\MyAppProject.ism

This folder need to create manually ? how the ism file is created ?

sreekanth-v-tfs · ‎Jul 18, 2022

docker run -it -v "C:\Data:C:\Test" flexerasoftware/installshield:sab2022r1 cmd

After running the above command C:\Test folder not created.

I need to pass "cmd" itself? or it has any meaning?
