InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition User Guide

Chapter 23: Wizard Reference
Visual Studio Deployment Project Import Wizard
Table 23-41: Available Options for Importing (cont.)
Option Description
Product Version If you want your InstallShield project to use the value of the ProductVersion
property that is configured in the Visual Studio project that you are importing,
select this check box.
The product version is configured in the General Information view of
InstallShield.
INSTALLDIR If you want your InstallShield project to use the value of the DefaultLocation
property that is configured for the application folder in the Visual Studio project
that you are importing, select this check box.
If you select this check box, InstallShield updates the value of the INSTALLDIR
setting in the General Information view with the path that is configured in the
Visual Studio project.
Note: Visual Studio lets you specify a directory path that contains multiple
formatted properties, such as
[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName], for the application folder.
Visual Studio projects use a directory custom action to resolve the path at run
time. However, InstallShield does not support this type of directory path.
Therefore, InstallShield resolves the path during the conversion process and
uses the INSTALLDIR property for the path.
Edition: The Premier and Professional editions have 64-bit support, but the
Express edition does not.
If the DefaultLocation property in your Visual Studio project uses a 64-bit
location such as [ProgramFiles64Folder], and if you select the INSTALLDIR
check box on this panel of the Visual Studio Deployment Project Import Wizard,
InstallShield Express Edition uses the 32-bit equivalent of the folder (for
example, [ProgramFilesFolder]). The Premier and Professional editions use
the 64-bit location.
