Finding Files and Folders in Your Project
If you have added numerous folders and files to your project, you may have trouble finding a particular
folder or file. You can perform a search for folders and files in the Files view; InstallShield locates any
matches and highlights the first one. You can keep searching until you find all matches for your search
criteria.

2. In the Destination computer’s folders pane, select Destination Computer.
3. On the Edit menu, click Find. The Find dialog box opens.
As an alternative, you can press CTRL+F.
4. In the Find What box, type the text to be found. You can use wildcard expressions, such as *.exe.
5. In the Look at area, specify whether you want to search for files, folders, or both.
6. Specify any other desired criteria.
7. Click Find Next. The first item (if any) that matches your search criteria is selected in either the
Destination computer’s folders pane or the Destination computer’s files pane.
8. To find the next item (if any) that matches your criteria, press the F3 key. Repeat this step as
necessary.
