Installshield is a software for creating setups/ installers. InstallShield was the name of the company when it was originally created. Installshield was founded by Viresh Bhatia, an Indian American graduate from Northwestern University, and Rick Harold. It was acquired by Macrovision in 2004. Macrovision is currently adding the FLEXnet name to the well-known InstallShield brand in its products and web site.
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 Basic 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 is now a version of the InstallShield Wizard forLinux. Sun Microsystems uses it for its Linux installations.
