Chapter 17: Updating Applications
Working with Upgrades and QuickPatch Projects
Also note that some versions of Windows do not show some settings on the Properties dialog box.
To see screen shots of the Properties dialog box for a Setup.exe file (which looks the same as the Properties dialog box
for an Update.exe file), see Customizing File Properties for the Setup Launcher.
Task To override the default InstallShield values for the Update.exe settings with your own custom values:
1. In the View List under Define Patch Settings, click General Information.
2. In the General Information explorer, click Build Settings.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then find the Update Launcher Settings area.
4. In the following settings, enter the values that you want to use for the properties of your Update.exe
file.
• Company Name
• Product Name
• Product Version
• Description
• Copyright
Tip: The Product Version setting updates the file version and the product version for Update.exe. Note that the file
version always contains four fields. If you specify fewer than four fields, the remaining fields are filled with zeros. For
example, if you specify a product version of 1.1, the file version that is used in the version resources of Update.exe is
1.1.0.0.
If you leave the update launcher settings blank, InstallShield uses the default InstallShield values.
