InstallShield is a tool that is used to create installers for software applications and tools. If you have created your own game, program or application, then InstallShield can take you through the next stages, helping you create an installer for your program so that it can be installed on the Microsoft Windows Operating System. InstallShield can also be used to create installers for mobile Operating Systems and can thus be used by mobile app developers to help users install their software on Smartphones and Tablet computing devices.
InstallShield is owned by Flexera Software but was first developed in the early 1990s under the Stirling Technologies name. InstallShield is a very easy to use program that can quickly create effective installation tools for a variety of software applications. The InstallShield program contains a number of features that allows users to personalization the installation file and to make sure that it adapts to the software application for which it is created. There is also a comprehensive help file at hand to help guide users through the process.
