What’s New in InstallShield 2012 Spring SP1 Express Edition

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

InstallShield 2012 Spring Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes changes that offer support for the final released versions of Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Visual Studio 2012. It also includes additional changes.

Support for Visual Studio 2012, .NET Framework 4.5, and Visual C++ 2012

InstallShield includes changes that offer support for the final released version of Visual Studio 2012, enabling development of installations and products within this version of the Visual Studio interface.

In addition, InstallShield includes two updated InstallShield prerequisites for the .NET Framework and two new InstallShield prerequisites for Visual C++:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Full
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Web
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64)

The Web prerequisite for the .NET Framework requires an Internet connection. This prerequisite downloads the required redistributable files if appropriate. The full prerequisite is a stand-alone installation that does not require an Internet connection.
