Project commands
The Project menu contains commands that check or build the project, or add new build configurations to it. Some commands apply to the default build configuration; this is the configuration whose name is shown on the main toolbar. Others apply to all selected configurations; this means all configurations on the Build Configurations page that have a check mark in front of their name.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| New Configuration > ... | Creates a new build configuration of the selected type, then displays the Build Configurations page where you can edit the name and other attributes of the newly created configuration. |
| Preflight Default | Performs preflight checking on the default build configuration. |
| Preflight All Selected | Performs preflight checking on all selected build configurations. |
| Build Default | Performs preflight checking, then builds the installation package(s) for the default build configuration. |
| Build All Selected | Performs preflight checking, then builds the installation package(s) for all selected build configurations. |
| Test Default | Runs the most recently built installation package of the default build configuration. This allows you to test the installer on your own computer. |
| Test Default As User... | Similar to Test Default, but allows you to run the test under a different user account. |
| Generate New GUIDs | Generates new GUIDs for the Product and for each Component, but not for Assemblies. This is required if you want the project to produce an installer that is independent from the current product. |
| Refresh | Refreshes all project information, in particular information about the installation files for the project. |
