Hey jkr:: Happy Sunday. For VS 2013 - InstallShield now uses a .isl file instead of a .ipr file.<br />
The xml schema of the file is definitely different from that of earlier versions of installer.<br />
I can live with this for now as it's not pressing. &nbsp;Thx JXB

Hi:<br />
<br />
I've downloaded and installed &quot;InstallShield Limited Edition Project&quot; and am attempting to use it with Visual Studio 2013.<br />
I'm building a simple installer for a C++ application.<br />
<br />
I would like to change the location of where the resulting .msi file gets created when I build the installer through VS.<br />
The default path that it gets created at is:<br />
<br />
c:\XXX\....\Projectname\Ex<wbr />press\DVD-<wbr />5\DiskImag<wbr />es\DISK1<br />
<br />
<br />
I looked at project properties, but I didn't see anything that allows me to change this directory location.<br />
Can someone point me in the right direction?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How do I change the output path with building an installation package through InstallShield in VS 2013?

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
