InstallShield 2014 Express Edition

When you create your installation, you also create an InstallShield project file (.ise). This file stores all the logic and information necessary to build your installation file (.msi). An InstallShield project specifies the files, folders, and operations that make up the project’s output. A project’s output is the installation.

A project can be as simple or as complex as you need to meet your requirements. A simple project might consist of files, features, and registry entries. More complex projects might consist of these items plus redistributables, initialization file changes, and calls to external .dll file functions.
