What's New in AdminStudio 9.5
New Tool for Scanning an IIS Web Site, Recording Its Settings, and Importing Those Settings into
an InstallShield Project
InstallShield includes an IIS scanner (
and recording IIS data about the Web site. The IIS scanner creates an XML file that contains all of the settings for
the Web site, its virtual directories, its applications, and its application pools. You can use the XML file to import the
IIS data into the Internet Information Services view in InstallShield. Once you have imported the IIS data into a
project, you can use the Internet Information Services view to make changes to the IIS settings as needed.
Ability to Add IIS Web Applications to Web Sites, Plus Other IIS-Related Improvements
InstallShield now lets you add IIS Web applications to Web sites. You can do so by right-clicking a Web site in the
Internet Information Services view and clicking New Application. Once you have added a new application, you can
configure its settings in the right pane.
InstallShield also lets you create a virtual directory without an application. Previously whenever you created a
virtual directory, an application was also created automatically.
In addition, InstallShield has new IIS settings:
•
Managed Pipeline
mode—either integrated or classic—for an application pool.
•
Enable 32-Bit
the selected application pool to be run on 64-bit systems.
•
.NET Framework
application pool should load.
•
ASP .NET
use this setting to specify which ASP .NET platform should be used to map a Web site, application, or virtual
directory to the ASP .NET version.
Support for InstallShield Prerequisites in InstallScript Projects
InstallShield now enables you to add InstallShield prerequisites to InstallScript projects. Previously, only Basic MSI
and InstallScript MSI projects included support for this type of redistributable.
InstallShield prerequisites are redistributables that usually install a product or technology framework that is
required by your product. Now you can add any of the InstallShield prerequisites that are provided with
InstallShield—or any of your own custom-designed InstallShield prerequisites—to InstallScript projects. If you work
on a mix of different project types, InstallShield lets you simplify your testing matrix by enabling you to reuse this
type of redistributable in all of your Basic MSI, InstallScript, and InstallScript MSI projects.
Ability to Detect the Presence of a Virtual Machine
InstallShield lets you determine whether an installation is running on any of the following types of virtual machines:
•
Microsoft Hyper-V
•
A VMware product such as VMware Player, VMware Workstation, or VMware Server
•
Microsoft Virtual PC
