Hi All,

Is it possible to build ISX and IS2008 projects with FinalBuilder when you've only configured ISX as the StandAlone Build tool of ISX. How can I switch the confiuration of FB with regards to InstallShield.

Regards

P.S. I use FB 6.2.x.x same goes for my other post.

Hi   
  
 You can modify the options at runtime using script :   
  
 dim opt   
 set opt = GetOptionsObject(“InstallShield”)   
 opt.ISCmdBldLocation = “c:\whatever\IsCmdBld.exe”

Hi,

Where do I put this. In the BeforeAction event of the InstallShield Action it doesn't work.

Hi Alfred   
  
 My mistake, you need to set the DevISCmdBldLocation property of the options :   
  
 dim opt   
 set opt = GetOptionsObject(“InstallShield”)   
 opt.DevISCmdBldLocation = “c:\whatever\IsCmdBld.exe”

Hi Vincent,   
  
 It works. I checked the properties to see which one was set with the value from the FinalBuilder Options (setting) and used that one, turned out to be the DevISCmdBldLocation property.   
  
 Thanks
