This action creates a step to compile an InstallShield Express, Premier, Professional, Developer, DevStudio, or PackageForTheWeb setup script.  The project filename can be entered or browsed to, the type of compiler is selected, and the executable can be located automatically or manually.  From these inputs, the InstallShield command-line call is generated and run when the step is built.
