InstallAware

I have several dll files under my InstallAware project (mDotNetExec.dll, mFileBagEXE.dll, mMSIExec.dll, mWinRunExec.dll). My questions are:

1) What exactly are these files used for?
2) Do I need to include these file when backing up the project or is it OK to let InstallAware automatically regenerate them every time my project is built?

I also noticed two interesting text files (MainScript.mia.txt, checkcrystal13.mia.txt and setupcrystal13.mia.txt). The files basically contain each respective script as text. My questions are:

1) Do I need to include those files when backing up the project? Based on my experimentation they are not required.
2) I believe InstallAware creates the text file every time the scrip is edited but why? What’s the point?

Thank you.

Dear User,

1) What exactly are these files used for?

These files are part of the Plugins runtimes dlls used by your project (for example; File Bag plugin).
These files are added automatically at build time ... if not present.

1) Do I need to include those files when backing up the project? Based on my experimentation they are not required.
2) I believe InstallAware creates the text file every time the scrip is edited but why? What’s the point?

These files are used by IA internally and generated when required by the application. You can leave them out of your backup if you want.
