Question

InstallShield Limited Edition comes as free addition to Visual Studio 2010 users. It has many options on how to configure installation package, but I am having an issue to figure out if is possible to create a self-extracting setup with LE. Alternative to this can be 7-zip SFX add-on, NSIS, etc.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I've since imaged a new dev machine and installed InstallShield 2010LE. Through the standard Visual Studio (solution) Configuration Manager you have the choice of build CD-ROM, DVD-5 and Single Image ( self extracting EXE ).

OTHER TIPS

Windows's own IExpress.exe can also be used for creating a self-extracting installer.

I don't have InstallShield LE 2010 installed on this machine so it's hard to answer. Why don't you install it and find out? My guess is InstallShield supports this. If anything it might not support an uncompressed MSI in order to try to prevent you from coloring outside of the lines.

Or you could just call them. Worst that will happen is you'll get spam from them trying to get you to upgrade.
