I'm trying to set up an InstallShield LE installer for a Windows Service. I'm using VS 2012 Premium and InstallShield LE. I'm looking at this SO question ...

How do i create an InstallShield LE project to install a windows service?

The accepted answer has these steps...

  • Run through the InstallShield project assistant and add the primary output of your service to the Application files section.
  • After you are down with the project assistant, double click the "Files" item under step two of the setup project.
  • Right click on the primary output of your service, and go to properties.
  • Click the "COM and .NET Settings" tab, and place a check in the "Installer Class" checkbox.

The answer has a screen shot of a Properties dialogue box for the "primary output of your service".

I am unable to get to this dialogue box.

  • I double click the "Files" item under step two of the setup project. I do not see anything that says "primary output".
  • If I left click on the project in the "Source computer's folders" on the left side, I get "Primary output from " on the right, under "Source computer's files".
  • If I right click on the entry, "Primary output from ", I don't see a "Properties" entry in the context menu. There is only "Copy" and "Resolve Project Output ...".

How can I get to the Properties dialogue shown in the screen shot shown in the SO question?

This link helped me solve the problem ...

I had not added the project outputs inside the Project Assistant and so they didn't show when I double clicked the "Files" under Step 2 of the Setup project.

Being brand new to InstallShield LE, the above link was very useful to me.

In the 'Files' in the 'Destination computer's files' section you typically have the primary output of a VS solution (but in general whatever you are going to create an installer for). Right click on top of the primary output and click 'Properties'.

This will open the properties table.
