Hi,

Is it possible to install Windows Installer 4.0 (or 4.5) on my OS and still use Install Shield 11.5 to build MSI projects?

I don't think so because IS 11.5 contains a list of table and other things directly from Windows Installer.

But I just want to be sure...

If the answer is negative, then we can say that in order to build a stable installer for Vista, we need to upgrade to the latest IS...

Thanks

Stefan Krueger

While InstallShield 11.5 doesn't officially support Vista, MSI 4.0 should be compatible with previous versions, so I think this might work. However I'd prefer a InstallSield version that supports Vista if you build your setup on or for Vista.

MSI 4.5 is in beta, so don't use this for production builds.
