Cancel Build When Error Occurs

Summary

Information related to automatically cancelling an InstallShield build when the first error is encountered.

Synopsis

It is possible for InstallShield to automatically cancel a build when any error is encountered. This can be configured from the InstallShield IDE or passed to the command line when building projects using ISCmdBld.exe.

Discussion

From the IDE:
When building an InstallShield project from the IDE, you can configure InstallShield to cancel the build automatically if any build error occurs. To configure this setting in the IDE, go to the Tools drop-down menu and select Options. In the Options dialog under the General tab, select the "Stop build process when first error is encountered" checkbox.

From the Command Line:
When building an InstallShield project from the command line with ISCmdBld.exe, if you want the build to stop when it encounters an error, use the -x parameter. If you want the build to stop when it encounters a warning, use this parameter in conjunction with the -w parameter. For more information on the command line parameters for ISCmdBld.exe, please refer to the additional information section below.
