The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 15.0
If you develope software for Windows, InstallShield is your solution. It becomes a simple process to create reliable installations to Windows Installer (MSI) and InstallScript for Windows platforms, including Vista.
According to IBM, 28% of the problems generated by applications, are related to errors in the process of installation and configuration. These errors are often caused by outdated or private settings, which can significantly increase its costs of technical support, while frustrating its customers.
InstallShield, is the standard on the market to create Windows installations. Deployed in more than 500 million desktops around the world, its technology allows you to create high-quality facilities for Windows and extend them to configure database servers, Web services, and mobile devices, among others.
Unfortunately, despite the benefit, installshiled isn´t for everyone, in part because isn´t targeted to beginners (but you should know more than the basics if you are developing a software, don´t you?) and mostly due to its high cost which doesnt allow home offices and small business to afford a license, at least not without a sacrifice. However even though there are other cheaper or even free alternatives, whenever you need advanced scripting skills there is when you get the installshield advantage!. |
