Converting InstallShield Professional Log Files

AdminStudio 2021 R2 SP1 | 22.01 | Repackager

Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

You can convert an InstallShield Professional log file (.isl) to a Repackager project if you have access to the original setup media. When you open the log file, following the steps below, Repackager will try to find the original setup media automatically (in the location specified in the log file), but if it cannot, it will allow you to browse to it before continuing. If you do not have access to the original setup media, the conversion will fail.

To convert an InstallShield Professional Log File (.isl) to a Repackager project (which can subsequently be built into a Windows Installer package):

1.

Launch Repackager.

2.

From the File menu, select Open.

3.

In the Open dialog box, change the Files of type filter to InstallShield Pro Log Files (*.isl).

4.

Browse to locate the InstallShield Professional log file you want to convert.

5.

Select the file, and click OK.

The log file is converted to a Repackager project. Files, .ini files, shortcuts, and registry entries within the project are visible through the appropriate views in the Repackager Interface.
