Cost-Effective, High-Quality Installations

InstallShield Express provides value for setup authors with limited customization needs. It provides the most commonly required installation functionality at a fraction of the expected cost to help you better manage your installation projects and your budget.

.NET Support and Visual Studio .NET Integration

InstallShield is a setup solution for .NET software developers. You have the option of creating installations within the Visual Studio interface or using the intuitive InstallShield interface. You can also link the primary outputs of your .NET projects to your setups, scan .NET projects for file dependencies, configure .NET custom actions, and much more.

Benefits:

Jumpstart your installation using the Project Assistant’s simplified set of views. It quickly guides you through the installation process with no learning curve. Additional editing is enabled with a visual checklist of more detailed views dedicated to specific installation-authoring tasks.

Accelerate your installation process with built-in wizards. Quickly add an Express project to a Microsoft .NET or Smart Device project solution by simply browsing to it and letting a wizard run. Express includes project wizards for Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET, C# .NET, C++ .NET, and Smart Devices. These offer a great way to kick-start your project.

The Express Edition provides the easiest route for creating installations that require redistributable technologies. You can easily select them as part of your setup, assigning them to one or more features of your application. Just visit the Live Redistributables Technology Gallery and check the items you would like to include. The redistributables view will tell you where to get these objects and merge modules, and allow for direct downloads. Over 70 redistributable technologies are already included such as, Access, BDE, Crystal Reports, DAO, MDAC, and MSDE.

Use the Compact Installer to create setups with one of the smallest overheads of any installation engine. Rapidly build installations with a very low overhead (less than 100k) that will be downloaded over the internet. Easily mark files that need to be overwritten at installation time by simply selecting the Always Overwrite function.

Easily add Web services to any installation. A single dedicated view allows you to quickly build all aspects of Internet Information Services (IIS), including creating Web sites and configuring virtual roots. With dialog text editing, you can improve your end-user’s experience by editing text, graphics, and other content in your user-interface dialogs.

Here are just some of the features available in InstallShield Express:

Project Assistant - It’s now even easier to get a project started by using an alternate, simplified set of views to quickly guide you through the installation process. The Project Assistant enables you to switch to the more detailed views and back again while maintaining all updates

Compact Installer - For setups that will be downloaded over the internet, the Compact Installer lets you quickly deploy an installation with the smallest overhead (less than 100 KB) of any installation engine

Always Overwrite - Speed setup creation by marking files that will always need to be overwritten at installation time, regardless of version or modification date

EXCLUSIVE - Live Redistributable Gallery - This live gallery contains over 70 merge modules, making it extremely easy to add support for popular technologies such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access, and MDAC in your project. Never waste time trying to find the required files and registry entries for these technologies. When new merge modules or objects are available, they will automatically appear in the gallery as downloadable options

Visual Studio .NET Integration - Enjoy the convenience and familiarity of running Express completely inside the Visual Studio .NET shell or separately using its traditional IDE. Your views are integrated into the Visual Studio solution explorer and each view is presented as a workspace tab

Mobile Device Support - Easily create installations for mobile devices and expand your deployment to all Window CE platforms, including PocketPC 2003 and Smartphone 2003, and all Palm handheld devices
