no msi file
Hi,
I created new "Basic MSI Project" by InstallShield 2011 (Windows7 64bit)
After build it, I have a ***.msi file, setup.exe, and so on in DISK1 folder.
"program" folder is also included in DISK1.
However, when I build the same project on the another computer (same OS),
I have a large setup.exe and no ***.msi nor program folder file
(msi file and program folder are embeded into setup.exe?)
I don't know why the results are different with same project.
Please Help!!

Additional Information....
I think "Compression Setting" doesn't work in InstallShield on the another machine (Always generate a large setup.exe)
InstallShield 2011 on the machine is trial version.
Does it have anything to do with this mysterious phenomenon?

Yes. As mentioned in the release notes and detailed in KB article Q200900, InstallShield has some limitations when you are using it in evaluation mode. One of them is support for building compressed Setup.exe files, but no other release types.
