Web Deployment Project

I currently have a Web Setup project which I need to migrate to Visual Studio 11.

It utilises the PreBuildEvent to run a custom program which merges Web.config files according to the target platform - Development, Test or Production.

It also utilises the PostBuildEvent to run a script which modifies the MSI file to include the build configuration and version.

Does InstallShield LE have this capability?

If not can other versions of InstallShield do something like this?

Hi Darryl,

I infer that you would like to perform PreBuild and PostBuild event. Please note that InstallShield Limited Edition has limited functionality and thereby does not have this functionality.

You could use InstallShield Premier Edition to include PreBuild and PostBuild events and several other advanced features that would help you create complex installers.

Kindly refer the below documents that would help you include these events in the Premier Edition:

Please let me know if I could help you further regarding this!
