About the Book

A quality install program can improve your company's image and reduce support costs at the same time. This is the first book to show how to create bulletproof installs using InstallShield5, the leading install software for Windows. The book begins by introducing the fundamental issues associated with install programs, including defining your goals, understanding your operating system environment, and writing a specification. Next, it introduces you to InstallShield5, including the InstallShield IDE, the InstallScript scripting language, and in-depth coverage of the InstallScript API. Understand how to use InstallScript to work with configuration files, shared files, locked files, and the Registry. Walk through the construction of a custom user interface; handling events during install; creating both standard and custom install programs; working with AutoRun .INF files, ensuring Microsoft logo compliance, localizing for global markets; and more.
