Creating an Installation Within a Solution
Entering Project Settings
Visual Studio integrated editor only.
On the Main Project page, you specify the main project and set options that affect the
main project. Access this page either from the Wise Setup Wizard when you create a
new installation, or by right-clicking a project in a solution and selecting Properties.
Main Project
Select the project that generates the main target, or executable file, for your
application. (Example: If the main executable for the project is Sample.exe, you
would select the project that generates Sample.exe.) When you select a project, a
shortcut is generated for the main target and the version number in the Wise
project is updated from the main target.
If you select <None>, or if you are in a merge module, shortcut generation and
version updating does not occur.
Automatically Update Product Information
Mark this to update the installation's product name, version, and manufacturer
whenever you rebuild the solution or whenever the version number of the main
target file changes. (In a merge module, only the version is updated.) The default is
determined by a check box in Wise Options. This is unavailable if you select
<None> in Main Project.
Create Shortcut
Mark this to add a shortcut for the main target file to the installation. The default is
determined by a check box in Wise Options. This is unavailable if you select
<None> in Main Project.
