Putting InstallAware projects under version control.

[kamiller42]

If I want to version control my InstallAware project, what is the minimum set of files I need to version control? By minimum, I mean any install plans and scripts I create. Just the mpr and mia files?

Is there a plug-in to add version control management to InstallAware?

[neillans]

At present there is no builtin (or plugin) support for easy version control - however, it's a good suggestion - what VCS are you using?

The minimum you should store are:
- MPR
- MIA
- DFM
- DFM.MIAF

Everything else should be regenerated when you load / build the project.

If you are using any custom plugins, you might want to document those so your developers are aware they need to install them first.

We'd really appreciate having integrated source control support as well (using MS Visual SourceSafe here).

neillans, thank you!

MarkRichards, I agree. It seems one thing InstallShield offers that InstallAware does not seem to. (Using Subversion here.)
