"Moving from WiX to InstallShield was an easy choice. InstallShield makes it simple to build, compile, and customize our MSIs, and it doesn't have the steep learning curve you get with WiX."

Rajesh Rajashekar, Software Developer, NetApp

"Things are more intuitive with InstallShield… the way you build the basic installer, the way you configure the features and components, and the way you design those all together and execute specific .NET functionality with assemblies."

Mano Sadeh—Engineer, Clearion Software
