InstallShield is recognized as the industry standard in installation authoring. Successful software publishers around the world rely on InstallShield for authoring powerful and flexible Windows Installer and InstallScript installations.

InstallShield 2010 offers many new features and enhancements that help you use the latest technologies and save time on everyday tasks. InstallShield now supports Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Installer 5, and SQL Server 2008 SP1. 
Many of the views in InstallShield contain new toolbars and dynamic search capabilities that make it easier to find information, modify project settings, and customize grids. A new String Editor view enables you to view and edit all localizable run-time strings in one centralized place. The new Text File Changes view lets you quickly configure search-and-replace behavior for content in text files on target systems. The redesigned Internet Information Services view now lets you create IIS Web applications and virtual directories separately. Plus, you can now add InstallShield prerequisites?which were previously supported only in Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI projects?to InstallScript projects.

InstallShield 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes changes that offer support for the final released versions of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Installer 5. (Note: Without SP1, InstallShield 2010 supports Microsoft Windows 7 Release Candidate English, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Release Candidate English, and the beta version of Windows Installer 5.)
