Quick Release Flags Question
Hi all,
I just want to be sure I have this straight before I move ahead with 32/64 bit installers created from the same .ism....
I have various Features that have Release Flags set on them (text such as 32Bit, 64Bit, Common, etc). Now, when I configure a Release in the Releases view, I then set the Features I want to include by a comma delimited list of flags I've set on my features?
Or, are there other things goverened by the use of Release Flags? I guess it can be asked in short form... do release flags simply govern the inclusion, exclusion of features in a release?
Thanks in advance for any info, help, pointers!!

Please see the "Release Flags" help topic:
When you build your release, you can include and exclude features, InstallShield prerequisites, and chained .msi packages depending on the type of release...InstallShield also creates an ISReleaseFlags property that contains the flags set for the current release, so you can also do run-time (not build-time) filtering of custom actions and so on.
