InstallShield is designed to enable development teams to be more agile, collaborative and flexible when building reliable InstallScript and Windows Installer (MSI) installations for PCs, servers, Web and virtual applications. InstallShield is the only software installer that can directly convert MSIs to Microsoft App-V virtual packages. InstallShield is a commonly used installer creation tool from Flexera (formely Macrovision). Documentation for all of the InstallShield products is available at the Flexera web site. In many instances, InstallShield packaged programs are distributed as self-extracting zip files.
