If this option is selected, a custom PS1 script will be added as a detection rule to the Intunewin packages converted from legacy packages, especially EXEs, that do not already have detection methods.
  • Setting Default Intune Deployment Properties on the Options Dialog Box - You can specify the default values for the Intune deployment model properties that are assigned to Intunewin package when it is imported into the Application Catalog on the Import Options > Deployment Properties Defaults (previously named Application Model Defaults) > Intune tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box.

This new editable field gives you the ability to provide your desired custom name to the Fixups when you apply it to an MSIX package. You can also rename the existing fixup name by right-clicking on the Fixup node and select Rename Fixup from the context menu.

• InstallShield 2023 R2
  • Added support for the the following features from the release of InstallShield 2023 R2:
    • New Setting to Enable 64-Bit Signing Framework
      • This release introduces a new setting named 'Use 64-Bit Signing' on the Signing tab of the Releases explorer on the Media view, that enables you to use the 64-bit signing framework to digitally sign a package. Available options are:
        • Yes - Enables the 64-bit signing framework to digitally sign.
        • No - Enables the 32-bit signing framework to digitally sign.
        • By default, this setting is set to No.
    • Automation Interface Support to Override the Setup.exe Version
      • This release introduces an automation interface support named LauncherFileVersion, to override the default file version with a custom file version for the Setup.exe. This read-write string property of the ISWiReleases object is available in the Basic MSI, InstallScript, and InstallScript MSI projects.
    • Setup.exe's New Parameter to Customize Temporary Extraction Directory
      • For the Setup.exe launcher, this release introduces a new command-line parameter named /tempextractpath.
      • By default, the InstallShield setup extracts temporary files to the %TEMP% directory, loads these files to complete the installation, and then removes them once installation is completed. These temporary files include support files, billboards, and other InstallShield engine files used for executing custom actions. There are a few environment restriction scenarios, such as an antivirus which blocks an application from running executables from this %TEMP% extracted directory.
      • Using this parameter is recommended to customize the extraction directory in these scenarios. Security aspects have been considered by InstallShield while extracting and loading these files and binaries from a customized location.
    • Support for Digitally Signing .mst Files Using Build Events
      • Previously, there was no option to sign .mst files from build events that were generated during build time. This prevented the customers from using the alternative signing scripts from build events instead of the InstallShield built-in signing option.
      • This release includes support to digitally sign .mst files, by enabling you to specify the script for signing them using the Precompression Event setting on the Event tab for a release in the Releases explorer on the Media view.
    • Missing Components Now Displayed in Build Errors
      • In previous releases, when upgrading to the latest version of InstallShield, if some files are unavailable in a specific directory, the build errors that were generated specified only the missing files, not their missing components.
      • In this release, to improve troubleshooting, build errors now list both missing component names and missing files.
    • New Prerequisite for Microsoft SQL Server 2022
      • This release introduces a prerequisite named Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Express (x64) for SQL Server 2022. This prerequisite has been added in the Redistributables explorer of the Application Data view. This applies to the following project types:
        • Basic MSI.
        • InstallScript.
        • InstallScript MSI.

Correctifs
