Setting Properties for an InstallShield Prerequisite

The Properties tab of the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor is where you specify a description and a unique identifier for an InstallShield prerequisite.

In the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor, open the prerequisite that you want to modify.

Click the Properties tab.

In the Unique identifier for InstallShield prerequisite box, type a unique file identifier for the prerequisite or leave the default value as is. This could be the name of the prerequisite application or component, or a GUID.

Note

Every time you open the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor to create a new prerequisite, a new GUID is generated and listed in the Unique identifier for InstallShield prerequisite box.

In the Description box, type an overview of the InstallShield prerequisite. This description is displayed under the Overview heading when you select an InstallShield prerequisite in the Redistributables view.
