I have install shield 2013. I recently converted an existing msi file to a ism using this article. I am a total noob w.r.t installshield but I'm on a tight deadline (needed to deploy on Friday... its now Sunday L.O.A.D (Life Of A Developer :) )). I built my ism project and now I have a msi file but I noticed my files are not packaged in the msi but on seperate folder.
How can I package the files into the msi.
Thanks
In your project, select Project Assistant tab, Build Installation panel, select Single MSI Package checkbox, then click Build Installations button.
I know this is an old thread, but just because I ran into this I'll let you know what worked for me without using the Project Assistant tab.
On the "Releases" screen, right-click the release you want to affect and run the "Release Wizard".
On the "Media Type" dialog, select "Network Image".
On the "Release Configuration" dialog, select "Compress all files".
When you get to the "Advanced Settings" dialog UNCHECK "Optimize size".
With those settings, you should get an MSI with no .cab files. As a side note, the name of the .msi file will be whatever the Product Name property is set to in the General Information screen.

I have problem creating the IPA file for Xamarin.IOS project.
In properties of the project i've selected the certificate and the provision and also selected the "create IPA file".
The build finishing succesfully but no IPA file there.
The project is on Release mode.
Any ideas?
I also tried to make archive from the Mac but i am getting errors "file not found" because the icons folder have extention of .app and its not recognised by Mac
Select Release (Solution Configuration)/iPhone (Solution Platform)/Remote Device, then right click on the iOS project and click on "Archive...".
The IPA is now building.
In the following link of Microsoft docs, it shows you the steps you need to take for creating an IPA.
In the Solution Explorer, right-click the Xamarin.iOS project name and select Properties to open them for editing:
Select iOS IPA Options and select Ad-Hoc from the Configuration dropdown list:
If you are including an option iTunesMetadata.plist file, click the ... button, select it from the list and click the Open button:
You can optionally specify a Package Name for the IPA, if not specified it will have the same name as the Xamarin.iOS project.
Save your changes to the Project Properties.
Select Ad Hoc from the Build Configuration dropdown if it is available. Otherwise select Release:
Build the project to create the IPA package.
The IPA will be build in the Bin > iOS Device > Ad Hoc (or Release) folder:
Could be a bug, turning the option off and on again for building the IPA file in IPA options worked for me.
I've unistalled VS and installed again and the file created
Close Visual Studio
Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_d8613546\ComponentModelCache
Start Visual Studio
Build the project
the IPA created
please guide me , how to change the default icon in the project in visual studio 2012 ?
due to that the certification test fails .
Due to this error I am not able to upload it to the windows store.
To change the default icon, first find or make an icon file. Then do this:
Go to the project properties. (Project menu.)
Select the Application pane. (Probably the first one.)
Go to the section Resources.
Check the option (radio) button Icon and manifest.
For the Icon field, use the browse button to select your icon file.
Save it, build it, try the certification test again.
I'm trying to set up an InstallShield LE installer for a Windows Service. I'm using VS 2012 Premium and InstallShield LE. I'm looking at this SO question ...
How do i create an InstallShield LE project to install a windows service?
The accepted answer has these steps...
Run through the InstallShield project assistant and add the primary output of your service to the Application files section.
After you are down with the project assistant, double click the "Files" item under step two of the setup project.
Right click on the primary output of your service, and go to properties.
Click the "COM and .NET Settings" tab, and place a check in the "Installer Class" checkbox.
The answer has a screen shot of a Properties dialogue box for the "primary output of your service".
I am unable to get to this dialogue box.
I double click the "Files" item under step two of the setup project. I do not see anything that says "primary output".
If I left click on the project in the "Source computer's folders" on the left side, I get "Primary output from " on the right, under "Source computer's files".
If I right click on the entry, "Primary output from ", I don't see a "Properties" entry in the context menu. There is only "Copy" and "Resolve Project Output ...".
How can I get to the Properties dialogue shown in the screen shot shown in the SO question?
This link helped me solve the problem ...

I had not added the project outputs inside the Project Assistant and so they didn't show when I double clicked the "Files" under Step 2 of the Setup project.
Being brand new to InstallShield LE, the above link was very useful to me.
In the 'Files' in the 'Destination computer's files' section you typically have the primary output of a VS solution (but in general whatever you are going to create an installer for). Right click on top of the primary output and click 'Properties'.
This will open the properties table.
I am working on window setup and deployment project in .Net VS 2010.I have created a setup file.When we install setup build in .net a step comes where user is asked to select installation folder i.e. Installation Folder step.This step has default banner text "Select Installation Folder".Also browse text box has default header text "Folder".
Is it possible to change these default text?If so please suggest.
Please note that I have to change only these text mentioned above not the default path or location.

If you rightclick your installation project in VS2010 under the option "View" you can select the user interface. A new tab wil open with al the UI windows on it, you can change the text there.
How can create binary in Xcode 4.0?
You press the "Build and run" button, or you select "Build" (or "Build and run" if you also want to run your app afterwards) from the "Build" menu.
The binary executable will be written to the folder specified in your project settings. By default, this is /build/debug and /build/release, depending on whether you selected a release or debug build.
From project, select product, then select the .app file.
Right click on it and select show in Finder.
From Finder compress it and finally upload the compressed file to iTunes connect.
Open project. Find folder with name Product. Right click and select "open with finder".
