InstallShield      安裝程式工具

If the applications you develop target Windows®, InstallShield® is your solution. InstallShield makes it easy for development teams to be more agile, flexible and collaborative when building reliable Windows Installer (MSI) and InstallScript installations for desktop, server, Web, and mobile applications. It's also the only software installer that can build Microsoft App-V virtual packages.
　

Microsoft SQL Azure Support
The cloud is transforming how application data is accessed and stored, and to meet customer demand, Software Producers must support their products both on-premises and in hybrid cloud environments. InstallShield 2012 Spring includes new SQL Azure database scripting capabilities enabling Software Producers to support hybrid cloud SQL deployments.

Pre-Release Support for Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2012
Microsoft's release of a new Windows Operating System and Visual Studio will be major events in 2012 – and InstallShield 2012 Spring offers support for pre-release versions of these. InstallShield now allows specification that the installation requires Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, plus it lets you build feature and component conditions for these operating systems. Being the first to support these new technologies demonstrates your commitment to supporting the latest technology.

Advanced Wizard Page Editor and Redesigned Wizard Pages
A new generation of "app-store savvy" users means the bar has been raised for installation run-time. Current MSI dialogs are very limited and prevent Software Producers from being able to deliver a modern experience. InstallShield 2012 Spring includes an entirely new end-user interface with redesigned built-in wizard pages and a new wizard page editor to create a better run-time experience.

Automatic Checking for Installer Updates and Patches
Update and patch deployment is a key element of modern software applications. Software producers must continually update their applications to keep up with customer demand. InstallShield 2012 Spring checks for the latest updates and patches at installer run-time. If an update is found, it will automatically be downloaded and run in place of the old installer ensuring that users always have the latest version of the application installed.

Suite Installation Enhancements
The need to bundle multiple products and packages together and deliver a unified installation experience continues to rise, resulting in widespread adoption of the InstallShield 2012 Premier Suite Advanced UI project type. We've incorporated customer requests into the new Suite capabilities available in InstallShield 2012 Spring, including the ability to import and reference PRQ files as Suite packages, dynamic links for Suite packages, advanced reporting and logging on Suite packages as well as a new UI for custom conditions.
