Installshield




The two primary types of installer that can be created by the Windows version of the InstallShield tool are called ''Basic MSI'' and ''InstallScript''. Basic MSI projects are built into Windows Installer (MSI) packages, and InstallScript projects are created using an event-based script and built into setup.exe executables. (A third type of project, called ''InstallScript MSI'', exists, using the InstallScript programming language for the user interface and customization of the installer, and the Windows Installer engine for the data-transfer part of the installer.)

There are other various types projects other than Basic MSI, InstallScript and InstallScript MSI projects. There are projects which manages software applications and packages into light weight installers for mobile devices too.
There are even more different types of projects which helps you to customize the installer as per the need of the product and the users.

There is now a version of the InstallShield Wizard for Linux . Sun Microsystems uses it for its Linux installations ( Java , NetBeans , etc.).

Installshield was founded by Viresh Bhatia, an Indian American graduate from Northwestern University , and Rick Harold.
