Developer 8 introduces a new project type called "InstallScript Object". InstallScript Objects (.imm files) remove the InstallScript limitation in merge module projects and allow you to split your installations into reusable objects. Essentially, InstallScript Objects are merge module projects with an active InstallScript view. InstallScript Objects can be used in both Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI installation projects.

Note the following about InstallScript Objects:

InstallScript Objects can be used only with InstallShield Developer-created projects. This is because the InstallScript Object requires the scripting architecture for the InstallScript to work.

The InstallScript Object engine version must match the parent installation project engine version. For example, if the InstallScript Object was built using InstallShield Developer 8.x, it must be used in an installation project built using InstallShield Developer 8.x.
