If you found the "Installshield Update Manager" a very annoying application read this: HOWTO: Uninstall Update Manager. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.175.55 ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Could we get a listing of alternatives on this page? I was hoping for a link to an article on WISE. Mathiastck 17:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
You can automate Install Shield Deployments in GPO's using .ZAP files. (applied to a User Configuration) (not Computer Configuration)
Using the switches:
Setup.exe /S /v "/qn OPTION=value"
Will install without prompting the user.
There are other options that can be applied, such as:
REBOOT=Suppress ADDLOCAL=ALL
to Log the install:
/L C:\<path>setup.log
There are others. Anyone know of any help documentation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.241.105 ( talk • contribs)
Could anyone list key version history for the product and what dates/years. I think this would be useful to see the develepment stages of the software as well as core concepts possibly introduced at stages along the way. Thanks -- 203.122.234.30 ( talk) 05:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Unshield download page, since the other link is 404.

I suppose the current phrasing of the article is defensible: "InstallShield was also the name of the company that originally created it until it was acquired..." but the fact is that in the early 1990s the company selling InstallShield was known as Sterling Software, and as I recall it in approximately 94/95 changed the company name TO that of their flagship product (maybe as part of a sale, merger, or acquisiton). The current phrasing implies that the company always had that name, and while I don't have a citation (other than possibly an ancient cashed check), I personally know the the company did not take that name until after the product achieved considerable success.

For such a hugely popular program, there's really very little information, no picture, no version history, or anything really that's very useful at all to the developer. Could someone step up and edit this page to be more informative, before a wiki newb like me tries to? -- guidex@tnexgen.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.121.31 ( talk) 05:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
"Operating system" currently says "Microsoft Windows, Linux". AFAIK InstallShield is only available for Windows, not for Linux. -- 193.164.15.125 ( talk) 10:57, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
