Standalone Build

InstallShield 2008

Edition-Specific

Edition

The Standalone Build is available to users of InstallShield Premier Edition.

InstallShield provides a Standalone Build module that enables you to maintain a clean build system by using the part of InstallShield that compiles the installations, plus any redistributables that you want to include. For instructions on installing the Standalone Build and any redistributables on a build machine, see Installing the Standalone Build to a Build Machine.

The Standalone Build can coexist with other versions of InstallShield, InstallShield DevStudio, or InstallShield Developer. Standalone Build files from different service packs of InstallShield, InstallShield DevStudio, or InstallShield Developer can coexist on the same machine (in different folders).

Note

Note

Using the Command-Line Build

You can run the Standalone Build from the command line. For more information and for the available command-line parameters, see Standalone Command-Line Build.
