About Install Shield

InstallShield is a program used to create program installers for Windows.

InstallShield can be used for both Microsoft Windows desktop and server platforms, but can also be used to manage applications and software packages on a variety of handheld and mobile devices.

This ISD file contains a saved dialog that can be imported or exported to an installer.

Also, the ISD is used to insert dialog templates and custom dialogs into an installation sequence, which can be inside or outside.

The inner dialog boxes, exposed by an ISD file, exist between the beginning and end of the installation process and have an image header.

The outer dialog boxes exist at the end points of the installation process and contain a larger bitmap image.

ISD files can be used to create a repository of dialog templates.

ISD files can be imported using the Dialog Wizard or the Dialog Templates panel in InstallShield.
