Usage of InstallShield 2018 patchdesign view to create patch files (.msp): I have some questions regarding this view:

  1. Where and how can I specify the .msp file name? is it possible to be set by environment variable value that I pass to InstallShild by the -l flag?
  2. can you please tell if ISLatestRelease can be declared as environment variable and passed to installshield with -l ISCMDBld.exe flag?
  3. can "previous setup path" be declared by environment variable and passed to installshield with -l ISCMDBld.exe flag, I'm trying to avoid hardcoded path?
  4. does Identification tab can contain environment variable? Thank you! Donna

Is there any specific reason you want to automate using environment variable? - Vivek

Installshield generates patches(.msp) with "Patch package.msp" name. You can rename it using any scripting once Iscmdbld.exe generates the msp file.

Use the IswiAuto19.ISWiProject automation interface for automation. https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield19helplib/helplibrary/IHelpAutoISWiProject.htm
