Updating Files
Use patches or upgrades to update files that exist in the original setup. Do not use a transform to cause
the setup to install newer files than were in the original setup because that will make the transform
invalid for future versions of the setup.
Customizing Your Password Rules
Password rules are contained in the file “passwordrules.chm”. The “Never Overwrite” property for the
component that installs the file “passwordrules.chm” has been set to “Yes”. Therefore, it is possible to
include a different version of this single file in a transform and replace the file that is deployed in the
original MSI package. Since this file will never be overwritten, it will be preserved during upgrades and
patches.
Changing the Installation Directory
Change the installation directory in the setup by modifying the value of INSTALLDIR in the Directory
table. When specified during an upgrade, the installation package will honor an installation directory
change for a Major Upgrade. Minor updates must install to the same directory as a previous installation.
Changing the Application Name
You can change the name of the application name by modifying the ProductName property in the
Property table. You can modify the names of the shortcuts by changing the values in the Name field in
the Shortcut table.
Making the Transform Apply To Future Versions
Transforms offer several validation checks that can occur before the installation begins. The validation
can occur on the UpgradeCode, ProductCode, ProductVersion, and ProductLanguage properties. To
make the transform apply to future versions of the product, you should eliminate the validation checks or
check only the ProductCode.
The Project Settings dialog in InstallShield configures which validation checks occur at runtime. To open
this dialog, click Project then Settings from the menu.
