Standalone Build

InstallShield 12

PROJECT

The Standalone Build is available to users of InstallShield Premier Edition.

InstallShield provides a Standalone Build module that enables you to maintain a clean build system by using only the part of InstallShield that compiles the installations. The module installs to a single directory and requires no registry changes.

The Standalone Build can coexist with other versions of InstallShield, InstallShield DevStudio, or InstallShield Developer. Standalone Build files from different service packs of InstallShield, InstallShield DevStudio, or InstallShield Developer can coexist on the same machine (in different folders).

NOTE

The Standalone Build is supported by the following platforms: Windows 2000 SP3 or later, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.

Upgrading Projects

The Standalone Build automatically upgrades projects created with InstallShield Developer 7.0 or later. However, it does not upgrade projects created with InstallShield for Windows Installer.

Using the Command-Line Build

You can run the Standalone Build from the command line. For more information and for the available command-line parameters, see Standalone Command-Line Build.

Using the Standalone Automation Interface

The Standalone Build includes a standalone version of the automation interface—the Standalone Automation Interface.
