Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Projects

InstallShield 2016

Edition • The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.

Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI installations are bootstrap applications that package together installations and InstallShield prerequisites as a single installation while providing a unified, fully customizable user interface. They use a setup launcher (Setup.exe) to conditionally launch packages on target systems as needed.

Note that Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI installations require Windows Vista or later or Windows Server 2008 or later.

Also note that the ability to create and build a Suite/Advanced UI installation that includes a sideloading UWP app package (.appx) requires Windows Vista or later or Windows Server 2008 or later on the machine that has InstallShield or the Standalone Build.
