Hi,

We are using InstallShield 2016 for developing our msi. We have an issue wherein, ttf fonts carried by our msi are getting installed in system. We do not want fonts to get registered. We simply want to carry them. But since they get registered, other applications like Outlook, skype, chrome start using them. This creates problems for us during uninstallation.

So our requirement is to carry the ttf fonts, but not to get them registered. Since InstallShield by default registers the fonts, how can we disable this behavior?

What I have tried:

Got some suggestion on the net but they are not relevant to InstallShield 2016. Please provide us a step-by-step guide.

See here: Packaging Fonts with Applications - WPF | Microsoft Docs[^] If that doesn't solve it, talk to Installshield.
