Possibility to derive from a base Project?

Post by binkle »

We have a Software that we want to release in
several different packages, i.e. Demo,Full,Pro
is it possible to have this all in one project that generates three different
installers?
Demo is the "base project", full _overwrites_ some files of demo, and
pro adds the source code.
what has to be done to accomplish this behaviour?
Thanks
Harry

Hi Harry,

Absolutely. What you need to do is use compiler variables. This way you can turn features on/off at build time, and build each installer from a single script. The Compiler Variable If/Else/End commands let you test for the values of compiler variables, and they include/exclude code at build time; so you can fully customize your setups in this way, and toggle features/files/settings/etc. on-off easily.
