Required Execution Level Use the Required Execution Level setting to specify the minimum level required by
your installation's Update.exe file for running the installation (the setup launcher,
any InstallShield prerequisites, and the .msi file) on Windows Vista and later
platforms. The available options are:
• Administrator—Update.exe requires administrative privileges to run.
Administrators must authorize it; non-administrators must authenticate as an
administrator.
• Highest Available—Update.exe prefers administrative privileges.
Administrators must authorize it; non-administrators run it without
administrative privileges.
• Invoker—Update.exe does not require administrative privileges, and all users
can run it without administrative privileges. Update.exe does not display any
UAC messages prompting for credentials or for consent.
• Use Previous Setup Manifest—The Update.exe manifest uses the same
required execution level that was specified for the previous setup. This is the
default option.
If the Create Update.exe check box is selected, InstallShield embeds an application
manifest in the Update.exe launcher. This manifest specifies the selected execution
level. Operating systems earlier than Windows Vista ignore the required execution
level.
If the Create Update.exe check box is cleared, InstallShield does not embed the
Windows application manifest in an Update.exe launcher.

During Installation.
The History item in the General Information explorer within the General Information view presents a
synopsis of your QuickPatch project. It lists all of the associated releases, enabling you to specify which
ones should be patched by the current QuickPatch project.
Caution: If you open and modify any of the releases listed in the History, your latest project will not work since
intermediate data shared across the releases in the History may have been lost or altered.
Note: When you specify which releases from the History to patch, InstallShield looks for specific versions associated with
each release to identify it.
The Custom Action item in the General Information explorer within the General Information view lists
the custom actions that are defined in the original installation project for which you are creating a patch.
It enables you to specify which actions should be executed by the current QuickPatch project.
