InstallShield Developer 7.0.2

InstallShield Developer 7.0.2 ... simple or complex the project may be. It contains over 20 task-based wizards and more than 20 simplified task views. Adding files, registry entries, and other elements is as easy as dragging and dropping them in the appropriate view. This can be accomplished using the standard InstallShield Developer IDE or when running Developer inside the Visual Studio .NET IDE. A Visual Dialog Editor is available to customize existing dialogs or create new ones, and it is possible to use any one of 33 pre-translated runtime languages. Developer will automatically find and include required file dependencies, automatically add third-party technology dependencies using over 40 included merge modules, and automatically add the latest source files at build time. InstallShield Developer also offers maximum power and flexibility, enabling you to meet all of your customization requirements. The IDE fully exposes the capabilities of the Windows Installer service in an intuitive manner. Full access to the Windows Installer tables is also available, for those who prefer to work in that interface. Customization of any kind is enabled via the use of the powerful and easy-to-learn InstallScript installation language, the de facto standard for Windows software since 1990, and related tools such as the InstallScript Function Wizard, Script Editor with IntelliScript, and the Script Debugger. This functionality is especially valuable to customers seeking to leverage existing script-based projects.

InstallShield Developer enables deployment of your software package to the entire range of Windows targets, from Windows 95 to Windows XP. .NET applications are fully supported, as are applications that mix .NET and traditional Win32 code. Installations for 64-bit applications and hybrid 64-bit/32-bit applications can be created as well. All application types can be distributed on standard and custom media up to 4GB. Users are guided through build filtering and layout options via the Release Wizard. One-Click Install for Internet or network deployments offers users a seamless download and installation process with one click from a web site. Advanced compression options and the option to only install the setup engine when needed will save bandwidth during deployment. Password protection and digital signature options improve security.
