Dear Friends,
I am very new in the field of InstallShield installation tool. Please assist me from where I can start?

Also, I just wanted to know is it possible to deploy the same patch on the multiple servers from my local machine. I will have admin priviliges on all the servers. I tell you what is my situation - I am having some load balanced servers, so if I need to install any service on 1 server, it has to replicate on all the other load balanced server.
Please suggest, is it possible? One of my friend is having some knowledge of InstallShield, he was suggesting that through InstallShield, I can pull the updates and cannot push the updates to the desired servers.

Please assist as soon as possible.
Thanks.

As far as I know, we do not have books on Installshield to learn from. But Phil Wilson's book on Windows Installer technology is wonderful. Go through it definitely.

Also msdn blogs on Windows Installer are important. Rob Mensching's blogs and Christopher Painter's blogs are very valuable.

As you are already posting here, I hope you know the importance of Installsite and its founder.

I don't know much about load balancing. But I think you should be able to deploy updates in the same way you installed the original version on those servers.
