About Building Releases
When you select a release on the Releases tree on the Build Settings page, you are specifying that whenever you
build that particular release, you want to also build a Citrix profile for that release. However, the releases that are
selected on the Build Settings page have no bearing upon which release is built when you click the Build button
on the toolbar. When you initiate a build by clicking the Build button, a build is initiated for the active release—the
release that was most recently selected on the Installation Designer Releases view. The output of that build would
depend upon what releases were selected on the Build Settings page:
•
Active release
•
Active release not
Note • To build more than one release at a time, perform a batch build. See Performing Batch Builds.
About Creating Releases
You create and edit releases on the Releases view of the InstallShield Installation Designer. You cannot create or
edit a release in the Citrix Assistant.
If no releases exist, or if you want to create a new release, open the Releases view of the Installation Designer. You
must create at least one release before you will be able to build a Citrix profile. For more information, see
and Building
Digitally Signing a Citrix Profile
You can digitally sign your Citrix profile to assure end users that neither your installation nor the code within your
application has been tampered with or altered since publication. When you digitally sign your application, end
users are presented with a digital certificate when they run your installation.
To digitally sign a Citrix profile, select the Digitally sign Citrix profile option on the Build Settings page. When
this option is selected, the Personal Information Exchange file (.pfx) field is enabled. A
file format for digital certificates. You then click Browse and select the
this Citrix profile.
Including Additional Windows Installer Packages in a Citrix Profile
Sometimes a primary Windows Installer package uses other Windows Installer packages indirectly, such as driver
files, client components, etc. In addition to being able to convert a single Windows Installer package to a virtual
package, you can also use the Citrix Assistant to convert an application suite of multiple Windows Installer
packages into one virtual package.
To include additional Windows Installer packages in a Citrix profile, set the Would you like to include additional
MSI files in the virtual package? option to Yes, and then select the packages that you want to add.
