Response File Application Header

InstallShield 2015

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

InstallScript
InstallScript MSI

The response file application header is the second block of information in the response file, immediately following the response file silent header. The response file application header enables you to identify response files visually. It is not used by the installation script or by Setup.exe. You can use the application header to identify exactly which installation the response file is for, since it is often difficult to determine this by looking at the dialog data.

The format of the application header is shown below. The values assigned to Name, Version, and Company are derived from the values written to the registry in the call to the CreateInstallationInfo function in your installation script. (In an event-based script, CreateInstallationInfo is called in the default OnMoveData event handler code.) Enter the following lines into your Setup.iss file below the silent header:

[Application]

Name=<ProductKey from CreateInstallationInfo>

Version=<VersionKey from CreateInstallationInfo>

Company=<CompanyKey from CreateInstallationInfo>
