InstallShield 2011 provides support for defining a search path for installation prerequisites. We would like to use this feature as it provides a good way to store our customized prerequisites in the version control. However, the current InstallShield action in FB&nbsp;7 does not (seem to) provide a way&nbsp; to define this search path. IsCmdBld.exe has a -prqpath switch for this, but we'd prefer using the InstallShield action instead of running a DOS command. Is this supported in some way with the current actions? If not, we'd appreciate getting such functionality.

I’d like to add a request to support preprocessor variable defines in IS 2011 as well (the -d option in ISCmdExe).
