Maintain consistency across installation projects using project templates. You can generate project outlines that can be used over and over again, enhancing project efficiency.
A project template (.ist file) contains all of the default settings and design elements that you want to use as a starting point when you create an installation project or merge module project.
You can open a template in InstallShield and edit it as you would a project. To create a template, save any project as an .ist file.
InstallShield project templates serve only as a starting point for new projects. After you have created a project based on a template, there is no link between the current project and the existing template. If you change an element in the template, it does not affect the project that you created based on that template. However, you can modify the template and create another project based on the updated version of the template.
