Does anyone know a way to make include files that will update in all projects automatically when changed in a project? I'd like to have my .rul files function like .h files in C - this way I can have all the functions I share between projects located in one place, and updated in one place.

Right now what happens to the best of my knowledge is that each project copies over the .rul file when you include it - this means if you change something in that file in project 1, you have to go and manually update it in projects 2,3,4 etc.

Thanks in advance!

This was answered on the InstallShield board - the solution is to include the file without adding it to the project. To do this you specify a full path in the include statement

#include "c:\InstallShieldLibrary\includefile.rul"
