Description

Prerequisite File Locations (Current User) and Prerequisite File Locations (All Users)

Specify the paths for the folders where you store InstallShield prerequisite files (.prq files).

To specify more than one location, separate each path with a comma, as in the following example:

C:\Prerequisites,C:\My Files\Prerequisites

Note that you can use path variables in the path, as in the following example:

<ISProductFolder>\SetupPrerequisites,<ISProjectFolder>\MyCustomPrerequisites

The All Users option is available if you want to run a command-line build under a system account for which you cannot easily update the user settings.

InstallShield provides additional ways for specifying the folders that contain InstallShield prerequisite files. For more information, see Specifying the Directories that Contain InstallShield Prerequisites.

Note: In order to configure the All Users option, you must be running InstallShield with administrative privileges. If you do not have administrative privileges, this option is disabled. To learn more, see Launching InstallShield with vs. Without Administrative Privileges.
