I am having this warning:
ISDEV : warning -6487: If you intend to distribute this upgrade as a patch, you should author the 'Patch Optimization' setting on the Advanced Settings panel of the Release Wizard
while creating the setup with Installshield. Does anyone know what does it mean and explain the options?
In the configuration wizard, I could not find where I indicate "this is a patch". Actually it is not a patch and it should be standard exe file. Is this warning says I am doing something wrong?

This error occurs when the InstallShield application is corrupted or is damaged. To resolve this problem, try the following methods in the order in which they are presented. In Windows Explorer or in My Computer, open the following folder: Right-click the Installshield folder, and then click Rename.
IsUninst.exe is the InstallShield uninstallation file, and when it is corrupted it might appear to be in use even though it is not showing up as a process that is running in the Task Manager. Verify that the user has administrative privileges. Delete all instances of IsUninst.exe from the Windows directory and try running your setup again.
Problem: Error Message, Setup has detected that unInstallShield is in use. Please close unInstallShield and restart setup. Error 432, Appears When unInstallShield Is Not Running The following article is published by InstallShield at the following location:
Error -1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime Error message 2 Error - 1628: failed to complete installation This error occurs when the InstallShield application is corrupted or is damaged.
This warning is telling you that you might be doing something wrong. If you are building your second version and you intend to distribute it as a minor upgrade or especially as a patch, then consider taking the warning's advice.
Patches are created by having built two .msi files, and then using the Patch Design view to turn their changes into a .msp file. Certain things, such as dynamic file links, increase the chances that the two .msi files will be subtly incompatible; the "Patch Optimization" setting helps decrease the chance of such incompatibilities by giving InstallShield access to the layout of the previous .msi file. Since InstallShield cannot predict whether you will later build a patch, it warns while building the main .msi file.
