Is it possible to upgrade an Installshield 7 Professional Installpack, (ipr) file to a Windows Installer MSI?

I have successfully upgraded the ipr to an ism file, but cannot see how to now convert this to an MSI.

I can see lots of posts and help info about converting from Installshield express to MSI, but not from Installshield 7 Professional.

If someone could let me know is it possible? If so how? That would be great

Thanks

Yes I bleieve you can convert from a (pure) InstallScript project as in Professional 7 to a "InstallScript MSI" project, but not to a pure "Basic MSI" project. In general, I don't recomend "InstallScript MSI". You may want to stay with pure InstallScript, or start over building a Basic MSI project.
