"BLOATED INSTALLERS!"
Version: InstallShield Express 12.0
Pros
-Empty Field-
Cons
-The OLDER InstallShield (Like InstallShield Express 2.11) Were Good
-VERY Bloated Programs (Imagine A Compiler With Almost A 300MB Or More?)
-LAGS Are Constant Than Its Purpose To Build Simple Yet Excellent Installers.
-Defective Output!Summary
Find Other Installer-Building Software, Like Inno Setup, NSIS, Bytessense Install Maker etc... This Version Of InstallShield Is A Way VERY BLOATED, Good For NOTHING, But CRAPWARE.
If You Have Plans For Creating Installers With InstallShield, Don't. Instead, Use The Mentioned Competitors Up. -
"Never use InstallShield"
Version: InstallShield Express 12.0
Pros
No Pros. Terrible product.
Cons
- Non-Intuitive UI for creating installers. Very difficult to make installers with large amounts of files
- Bloated installers. Installers are very large.
- Many defects.Summary
More Cons:
- Knowledge Base missing a lot of information
- Support does not respond to email requests in a timely manner
- Forums are not administrated on a consistent basis -- some issues go without answers for MONTHS
- Scripting language is proprietary, clumsy and restrictive
If you are thinking about buying using software, Don't. Ever. Seriously.
