Talk:InstallShield

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you found the "Installshield Update Manager" a very annoying application read this: HOWTO: Uninstall Update Manager.

[edit] Alternatives

Could we get a listing of alternatives on this page? I was hoping for a link to an article on WISE. Mathiastck 17:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

As everybody knows NSIS is the best.

For my current needs I've found Inno is the best due to its brilliant scripting, while still being very simple. I've had horrible problems with IS, and I've noticed a lot of other developers have too (searching on the 'net for work arounds). Maybe a mention of its unreliability and bugginess maybe should be included. I'm not sure how to do that without risking being sued, but it is true. Also their expensive tech support (maybe could link to the page demanding money for them to help you, and another bunch of links to forums? or something? where people are having trouble...) Lionfish

Everybody knows del *.* is the best. For full effect, "del c:\windows" clears out rubbish on system.

Ignoring the destructive comment above without signature, I have serious point to ask. I heard some negative feelings towards the usage of the industry standard InstallShield. I wanted to point this out here so someone can come along and add some discussion on that topic in here. That would be awesome. Nastajus 02:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

If you were refering to my comments I didn't mean to be destructive, but it does seem to be the consensus among users. Lionfish

Maybe someone wants to add that a popular nickname is "InstallShite" or "InstallShit".
