Cloning Releases

InstallShield 2013

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI
Merge Module

InstallShield enables you to clone or copy a release in the Releases view. This allows you to create a release with all of its properties populated as they were in the cloned release. This way, if you want to create more than one release with only a few differences between them, you can clone a release and change only the settings that you need to change.

To copy or clone a release:

1. On the View List under Media, click Releases.
2. Right-click the release that you want to copy and click Clone.

A release named Copy of Release x is created. The release copy has all of the same properties as the original release. Rename the release and modify the release settings that you want to change.
