Anybody has an idea what this custom table is used for and what is the meaning of this column in particular? Documentation is silent about it and the info on the Net is scarce.

Hi Matt,

Have you found out about this Filterproperty column in the Installshield column ISComponentExtended?

I also want to know how to generate those values (they look a bit like GUIDs don't they?)

I'm trying to write a program to manually change the .ism file as part of an automated installation (build) process.

Much appreciated, thanks, Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,

I'm trying to do the same with my InstallShield project. Have you been successful figuring out how to generate the values in FilterProperty column in ISComponentExtended table?

Many thanks!

Charles


Updates:

The FilterProperty is just a string of GUID with all "-" replaced with "_", beginning with a "_" and ending with "_FILTER". I wrote a simple tool to import my files into the project and the project compiles fine.
