Hi,

I have been trying to build installshield projects on a linux box and use the build to install on a windows box.

I have a installer project which i am using on Windows and also building it on a Windows box. Now the the installer MSI would be used on a windows machine, but has to be built on a Linux machine.

Any Idea on how to go about this?

Thanks in advance,
Rakshith

InstallShield doesn't natively support building MSI setups on Linux. InstallShield X does support Linux, but only with the Java based "Universal" project type.
So you would have to use some sort of emulator or virtual machine to build Windows Installer (MSI) setups on Linux.
