Language-Independent Object Properties Tab

This tab contains basic information about your object, such as the name of the object, the company that created it, and the location of the object. This dialog box opens when you select the Project menu’s Settings command in an InstallScript object project or right-click an item in the Objects view’s InstallShield Objects/Merge Modules pane and select Register new object or Properties. In the last case, all properties are uneditable.

Object Wizard

This option allows you to specify the type of wizard, if any, that you would like to use for your object’s default language. The following wizard choices are available:

No Wizard—Select this option if your object does not require a wizard.

Use InstallShield Object Stock Wizard—Select this option to have InstallShield create a wizard for you based on the properties you created for your object. All read-only properties will be displayed but will not be editable. All read/write properties will be changeable by the user. Write-only properties will not be displayed.

Note

The InstallShield stock wizard does not support array properties. If your object’s properties require array properties, you will need to create your own wizard.

Use My Custom Wizard—Select this option to use a wizard you created. InstallShield allows you to use a wizard created with either Visual C++ or Visual Basic. To use a wizard created with one of these two programs, enter the path to the DLL you created, or click the browse (...) button to navigate to that file.

The following controls are not displayed when you select the Project menu’s Settings command.

Company

Version

Media File

Enter the path to the object’s media file (Data1.hdr file), or click the browse button to navigate to that file.
