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

Upgrading Projects from <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2008 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

or Earlier<br />

The following information describes changes that may affect projects that are upgraded from<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> 2008 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> or earlier to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>.<br />

Upgrading Projects Created in Earlier Versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</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 .765 before converting it. Delete the .766 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 />

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

You can migrate 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> 12 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> and earlier and <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

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

<strong>InstallShield</strong> Universal cannot be migrated to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <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 />

New Default Setup Launcher Value for New Releases and New QuickPatch Projects: Windows<br />

Installer Is Not Included<br />

When you create a new <strong>Express</strong> or QuickPatch project, the redistributable for the Windows Installer<br />

engine is no longer included by default:<br />

• In <strong>Express</strong> projects, the default value for the Setup Launcher setting on the Setup.exe tab is now Yes<br />

(no MSI engine included). Previously, the default value for this setting was Yes (include<br />

Windows NT & Windows 9x MSI engine).<br />

• In QuickPatch projects, the Include Windows Installer 2.0 engine and Include Windows<br />

Installer 3.0 engine check boxes on the Common tab in the General Information view are cleared<br />

by default. Previously, these check boxes were selected by default.<br />

These changes apply to all new <strong>Express</strong> and QuickPatch projects that are created in <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

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

If you upgrade an <strong>Express</strong> or QuickPatch project from <strong>InstallShield</strong> 2008 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> or earlier to<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>, <strong>InstallShield</strong> does not automatically change the values of the<br />

aforementioned settings.<br />

File Compression for Files that Are Streamed into Setup.exe and ISSetup.dll at Build Time<br />

If you build a release that uses a Setup.exe setup launcher, <strong>InstallShield</strong> now compresses files that it<br />

streams into the Setup.exe file at build time. The default compression level that <strong>InstallShield</strong> uses offers<br />

a balance between file size and time that is required to extract the compressed files at run time. This<br />

applies to new <strong>Express</strong> projects as well as existing <strong>Express</strong> projects that are upgraded from <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

2008 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> or earlier to <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>.<br />
