Installations Using InstallShield
Edition • InstallShield Editor is included with AdminStudio Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions.
InstallShield Editor provides the most comprehensive and flexible setup-creation technology available for the
Windows Installer. With the latest InstallShield installation development environment (Interface) you can create
setup packages that utilize Windows Installer technology, while harnessing the flexibility provided by InstallScript,
InstallShield's development language.
Administrators can also take advantage of InstallShield Editor to customize repackaged legacy setups, further
enhancing them prior to deploying them in production environments. For AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise
Editions, InstallShield Editor contains integrated Application Manager and ConflictSolver functionality, allowing you
to perform conflict identification before leaving InstallShield Editor.
