Chapter 1: <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

What Was New in Earlier Versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

• MIME Types setting for an application or virtual directory<br />

Support for Looping Through Image Billboards<br />

The Billboards view has a new Loop Billboards setting that lets you specify whether you want your<br />

installation to continuously loop the image billboards until the file transfer completes and the<br />

installation displays the appropriate Setup Complete dialog.<br />

If you select Yes for this setting and the file transfer takes more time than you have allocated for the<br />

billboards, the installation restarts the display of billboards from the beginning. The loop continues, if<br />

necessary, until the file transfer ends. The default value for this setting is No, which matches the<br />

behavior in earlier versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong>.<br />

Previously, if the file transfer took more time than what you had allocated for the billboards, the<br />

installation continued to display the last billboard until the file transfer finished; it did not loop the<br />

billboards.<br />

This feature applies to <strong>Express</strong> projects.<br />

New FlexNet Connect 12.01 Redistributables Available<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes support for FlexNet Connect 12.01 in <strong>InstallShield</strong> projects. Use the Update<br />

Notifications view in <strong>InstallShield</strong> to include one of the two FlexNet Connect 12.01 merge modules—one<br />

has the Common Software Manager, and the other does not.<br />

Enhancements<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes the following enhancements.<br />

Unicode Views in <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

Some of the views <strong>InstallShield</strong> have been enhanced to display and allow you to enter characters from all<br />

languages. For example, now you can use Chinese characters in system software requirement messages<br />

if you are configuring software requirements in the Requirements view on an English machine.<br />

Previously, the characters in the messages were displayed as question marks.<br />

The areas in <strong>InstallShield</strong> that have been enhanced to include the Unicode support are the Requirements<br />

view and the tabs for a release in the Releases view. Note that Unicode support was previously<br />

introduced in many other views in <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2010 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>.<br />

The improvements are applicable to <strong>Express</strong> projects.<br />

Support for Adding Project Outputs from Visual Studio Web Setup Projects<br />

If you create a Visual Studio solution that includes a Web setup project and an <strong>InstallShield</strong> installation<br />

project and you are using <strong>InstallShield</strong> from within Visual Studio, you can now add project outputs from<br />

the Web setup project to your <strong>InstallShield</strong> project.<br />
