Modifying the Installshield scripts programmatically using scripts

Question

I'm new to Installshield. I need to customize an Installshield-8 project to my need.

Is there a possibility to set the IS Project information such as Product-Code, INSTALLDIR

and Product Version programmatically from an external application (probably using some

scripts) Also,

Does using InstallScript in the Installshield-8 is of any help ?

My requirement is to be able to pass the configuration related information to a config

file and somehow read this information while compiling the Installshield-8 project

Any help in this direction is much appreciated

Thanks

IS has a (version specific) COM Automation Interface. The IswiProject object exposes INSTALLDIR, ProductCode and ProductVersion properties. You can use this from a 32bit build process to transform the ISM before compiling.

As i see it, this is specific to the Installshield - 12. Any idea if this is available for Installshield 8

InstallShield (DevStudio) 8 or InstallShield 2008?

I gotta be honest, you need an upgrade. DevStudio 8 is ancient and has many issues and lacking many features.
