An Installer-Creation Tool that Keeps Up With Technology

InstallShield Professional is basically a Development & IT proprietary software that helps create software packages and installers and also make applications for emerging or upcoming technologies.

Trusted Tool

InstallShield helps make installers for servers, cloud platforms and Windows desktops (almost all versions). There are more than 100,000 developers across the globe that rely on InstallShield Professional to make MSI and EXE installers, create WSA and UWP packages, thereby virtualising their applications with little coding, scripting, or rework. The tool has been installed on approximately 500 million servers and PCs. Whether supporting complex software bundles or standalone applications, InstallShield offers a user-friendly and engaging development interface to get work done. The installations can be made right from the Microsoft Visual Studio.

Simplified Deployments & Seamless User Experience

With InstallShield Professional, you get installation templates with multiple tiers to position server/web applications as one cloud-ready package. The tool also works with hybrid cloud databases. Using the advanced UI editor of InstallShield, you could create installers matching your firm and product brand. The company believes in keeping up with the latest versions of the tool, which is imperative for a software to work at its optimal best. This is why it continuously streams the latest patches and updates at install time, ensuring only the latest version gets installed. If you are looking for a free alternative, we recommend you to download InstallForge.
