in a hierarchical format. You can now select multiple properties in this view (by using the mouse and the SHIFT
or CTRL button) and then delete them all at once.

•

Redistributables view

—The new toolbar and the new group box area in this view provide robust search and

organizational functionality. You can drag and drop column headings onto the group box area to organize the
list of redistributables in a hierarchical format. In addition, you can type a string in the toolbar’s search box,
and InstallShield hides all of the redistributables that do not contain it.

•

Internet Information Services view

—This view has been redesigned to look similar to IIS 7: the settings

are now displayed in grids, instead of on tabs. The grids have buttons that let you sort the grid settings by
category or alphabetically. When you select a setting in one of the grids in this view, InstallShield displays help
information for that setting in the lower-right pane.

•

General Information view

—All of the settings in this view are displayed in one grid, instead of as separate

grids that are associated with nodes within this view. The settings are grouped into several categories to make
it easy to find a particular setting. In addition, the grid has a button that lets you sort the grid settings by
category or alphabetically. The string tables that were previously in this view have been moved to a new

String Editor

view.

•

Path Variables view

—This view contains a new toolbar that has buttons for performing tasks such as adding

and deleting path variables. This view also has support for dynamic searches—as you are typing a string in
the search box, InstallShield hides all of the rows that do not contain it. The top of the view has a new group
box area; you can drag and drop column headings onto this area to organize the rows in the view in a
hierarchical format.

New String Editor View

InstallShield has a new String Editor view. This view contains a spreadsheetlike table that shows the collection of
language-independent identifiers and corresponding language-specific values for your project. In the String Editor
view, you have complete and centralized control over the localizable text strings that are displayed at run time
during the installation process. The view replaces the string tables that were previously available as nodes within
the General Information view.

New View for Configuring Run-Time Text File Changes

InstallShield has a new Text File Changes view, which enables you to configure search-and-replace behavior for
content in text files—for example,

.txt

.htm

.xml

.config

.ini

, and

.sql

files—that you want to modify at run

time on the target system. The text files can be part of your installation, or they can be files that are already present
on target systems.

You can use Windows Installer properties to specify the names of the text files that you want to include in or
exclude from your search. You can also use properties to specify the search strings and the replacement
strings.This enables you to use data that end users enter in dialogs, or other configuration information that is
determined at run time, when your product’s text files are modified on the target system. For example, if your
project includes a dialog in which end users must specify an IP address, your installation can search a set of files
for a token, and replace it with the IP address that end users enter.
