Lang Search Criterion Specify whether you want to include the language identifiers that are specified in the
Language Identifiers setting in the Windows Installer’s search for product versions
previously installed on the target system. Leave this setting blank to include all
languages.
Ignore Remove Failure Specify whether you want the Windows Installer to continue installation of the current
version if it fails to remove a previous version of your product that exists on the target
system.
If you select No, the Windows Installer aborts the installation of the current version if it
fails to remove a previous version of your product that exists on the target system.
Migrate Feature States Specify whether you want the upgrade to attempt to migrate the feature-selection states
from an installed product version to the newer version. When installing the previous
version of your product, an end user may have selected to install certain features, and
not install others. During the upgrade to a new version of your product, these original
selections can be retained as the default selections by selecting Yes for the Migrate
Feature States setting.
For example, if your original product contained Feature1, Feature2, and Feature3,
and an end user installed only Feature1 and Feature3, by default Feature1 and
Feature3 will be selected for installation when your upgraded setup is run. Feature2
will, by default, remain unselected.
FlexNet Connect provides a mechanism that enables you to automatically notify your Web-connected
end users when patches, updates, and product information for your application are ready for release.
The Update Notifications view is where you enable automatic notification for your original installation.
Using FlexNet Connect is simple. When you enable FlexNet Connect, InstallShield includes the Software
Manager in your installation. This desktop tool ships with your application and provides a tool for your
users to view available updates. To publish updates to your users, you will use a Web-based management
portal called the FlexNet Connect Publisher site.
FlexNet Connect includes a variety of options that can be purchased together for a complete solution, or
separately for a customized solution. To learn more, visit the Flexera Software Web site.
