Feature:  Suite Installations

Multiple products can be easily bundled together into a single, unified suite installation.

Benefits: -Your developers will get out quality installations faster. Quality installations mean happier end users.
                 -You will no longer depend on staff with special skill in developing custom launcher or bootstrapper application
                   to create an installation suite.
                 -You have one product that support packaging for both standalone offerings and complex suites. 

Feature:   Installation Streaming

End users will experience an "app store-like" feel by downloading just a small file to quickly start the suite installation. Based
on the selected install options, only the required packages are downloaded from the web or extracted from the installation

Flexible options for specifying the run-time location of each package, including:

1. On the Web, available for download by Setup.exe.
2. Embedded in Setup.exe and extracted to the target system.
3. Uncompressed and stored on the suite source media

Benefits:   Your product end users will enjoy faster, virtually transparent and painless installations.   

Feature:   Installation Collaboration

Agile development practices demand that installation responsibilities are distributed amongst the team working around the
iterative development process. The InstallShield 2012 Collaboration add-on has been significantly enhanced to better support
distributed, collaborative installation development.

1. A new project type called Developer Installation Manifest (DIM) which is a feature-sized collection of related items such
   as product files, shortcuts, registry entries, text file changes, IIS Web sites, and other elements that together make up a
   discrete portion of a product installation.
   
2. A new Developer Installation Manifest Editor that can be separately installed and used by the entire product development
   team to create and manage their installation files. The manifest can then be dynamically or statically linked by the Installation
   Author to the product’s Basic MSI project.
   
3. The InstallShield Premier Edition includes 5 licenses of the Developer Installation Manifest Editor, enabling product
   development teams to immediately start working collaboratively

Benefits:   - Support for installation authoring, building and bundling requirements of decentralized agile development teams.
                    - Product developers can create and manage their portion of the installation.
                    - Distributed installation development helps produce better content quality installations in shorter time.                   

Feature:    New End-User Interface:

An entirely new end-user interface and redesigned, modern built-in wizard pages give full control over installation
customization. It comes with built-in wizard pages and a new wizard page editor

Benefits:   The built-in wizard pages will help reduce development time, resulting in better productivity. 

Feature:    64-Bit Enhancements:

InstallShield 2012 provides the most comprehensive support for 64-bit installation development.

1. Updated dependency scanners to identify 64-bit dependencies of the 64-bit files in a project.
2. Support for setting permissions for files, folders and registry keys in 64-bit locations.
3. A prerequisite that installs the 64-bit version of the Microsoft VTSO 2010 Runtime.

64-Bit and 32-Bit Windows Installer packages can be combined into a single installation eliminating the need to deliver
two separate installations or creating a custom launcher. 

Benefits:   One package , two installers - one 64-bit and another 32-bit. Less work to create the installers..       

Feature:   Application Tagging: ISO 19770-2 software identification tag creation 

Software “self-instrumentation” or tagging is evolving as an industry standard, enabling software producers to create smarter
applications that give customers better information for software asset management and license optimization initiatives. I
nstallShield 2012 is the only strategic installation development solution that creates ISO 19770-2 software identification tags
as part of the installation development process.

1. Automatically creates the ISO 19770-2 tag during the installation development process and ensures it is deployed
   as part of the application’s install.
2. Enhanced General Information view to manage the required metadata elements.
3. Installs the tag in the locations as defined by the standard.
4. Digitally sign tags (available in Q4 2011) in addition to your application files and setup.
   

Benefits:   Your application quality will be enhanced. It will help customers manage their software asset and have better
control on the use of the software licences.

Features:  Further Innovations

1. New monitoring method for COM extraction.
2. Merge Module Projects now include built-In support for IIS, Text File Changes, and XML File Changes.
3. The read-write property RequiredExecutionLevel has been added to the ISWiRelease object.
4. New prerequisites that install Internet Explorer 9, SQL Server 2008 R2 Native client, Windows Identify Foundation, & more.
5. The ability to determine if Adobe Reader 10, Internet Explorer 9, or Microsoft Office (2010, 2007, or 2003) is installed on
   a target system.
