Upgrading from Earlier Versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

• 2—Use the new kernel mode monitoring, which combines the advantages of both of the other<br />

methods. If the value is not set, this is the default behavior on Windows Vista and later systems and<br />

on Windows Server 2008 and later systems.<br />

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

Upgrading Projects from <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2010 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

or Earlier<br />

The following information describes possible upgrade issues that may occur when you upgrade projects<br />

that were created with <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2010 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> and earlier to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong><br />

<strong>Edition</strong>. It also alerts you to possible changes in behavior that you may notice between new <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

<strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> projects and projects that are upgraded from <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2010 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

or earlier to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>.<br />

General Information about Upgrading Projects that Were Created in Earlier<br />

Versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

If you use <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> to open a project that was created with an earlier version,<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> displays a message box that asks you if you want to convert the<br />

project to the new version. If you reply that you do want to convert it, <strong>InstallShield</strong> creates a backup copy<br />

of the project with a file extension such as .770 before converting it. Delete the .770 part from the<br />

original project’s file name if you want to reopen the project in the earlier version of <strong>InstallShield</strong>. Note<br />

that you cannot open <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> projects in earlier versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong>.<br />

You can upgrade projects that were created with the following versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>: <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2010 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> and earlier, <strong>InstallShield</strong> 12<br />

<strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> and earlier and <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>Express</strong> 5 and earlier. Note that projects that were created<br />

with <strong>InstallShield</strong> MultiPlatform or <strong>InstallShield</strong> Universal cannot be upgraded to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

<strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>.<br />

Changes that Affect All Projects (New and Upgraded Projects)<br />

This section describes changes that affect both new projects and projects that are upgraded from earlier<br />

versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong>.<br />

End of Integration Support for Visual Studio 2003 and Earlier<br />

If you want to create, edit, and build your <strong>InstallShield</strong> projects directly within Visual Studio, you must<br />

use Visual Studio 2005 or later. <strong>InstallShield</strong> can no longer be integrated with Visual Studio 2003 or<br />

earlier.<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> Builds Only Unicode Versions of Setup.exe and Update.exe; Ability to Create ANSI<br />

Versions Is No Longer Available<br />

Now all Setup.exe and Update.exe files that are built in all project types in <strong>InstallShield</strong> are Unicode.<br />

This applies to all new <strong>Express</strong> and QuickPatch projects that you create in <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong><br />

<strong>Edition</strong>. It also applies to all projects that you have upgraded from earlier versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong> to<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>. Therefore, the settings that previously enabled you to specify<br />

whether you wanted to build a Unicode version or an ANSI version of the setup launcher have been<br />

removed:<br />
