Overview

Do you want to learn how to develop Basic MSI, InstallScript MSI, and InstallScript installations with InstallShield 2011?  Cover all the bases with this InstallShield 2011 training bundle.  It consists of the following courses:

  • Creating MSI Installations with InstallShield 2011
  • Creating InstallScript Installations with InstallShield 2011
Become a development force by learning how to develop installations in all InstallShield 2011 project types.  Also, when you take advantage of this offer, you will save 25% off the total price of both courses.

Please Note: The license for the courses is held on a USB Stick (flash drives supplied with each course), which means you have to have the USB sticks plugged into the machine you are viewing the courses on.  You can install the courses on more than one machine, but the USB Sticks have to be plugged into the machine that you are viewing the courses on.

Course Presentation

The courses contain a combined 36 hours, 40 minutes of instruction and are presented on DVD-ROMs that play on your computer.  After installing the courses, you will be able to run the launch programs and watch the individual Flash movies that make up the courses.   Each movie covers a different aspect of installation program development, and is comprised of narrated PowerPoint slides and desktop screen-capture video (PowerPoint is not required).   The experience is one of looking over the shoulder of the developer and watching as the different aspects of installation development are demonstrated, and as installation projects are created and enhanced.  You are encouraged to follow along with the examples on your own computer, with your own copy of InstallShield 2011.

The Visual Studio 2008 Professional projects and the InstallShield 2011 Professional projects that are created in the courses are included on the DVDs, so that you may review them at your own pace.


System Requirements

In order to use these courses, you must have the following:

PC running Microsoft Windows Server 2000, XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7
Adobe Flash Player
DVD-ROM drive
USB port (the license is held on a USB stick that is supplied with the course)
Monitor running at 1280x1024 (for the best viewing experience)
InstallShield 2011 (Professional or Premier edition)
Visual Studio 2008 Professional or higher (If you want to rebuild and modify the sample applications included with
         the course. However this is not totally necessary, as Release versions of the applications are included)
Tested on: Win XP, Win Vista, Win 7

The course movies were captured at 1024x768, and you should view them at a resolution higher than 1024x768.  Also, you may find that two monitors or two machines are preferable.  One to work with InstallShield on, and one to view the course on.

Extensive editing has been done such that long periods of waiting were taken out.  The course tends to move quickly, with the majority of the waiting occuring during installation builds.

It is assumed that you are some type of software developer and possess a familiarity with programming or scripting languages, such as C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, or VBScript.  That knowledge will come in handy during the Custom Action development parts of the course where InstallScript is used (InstallScript is C-like).  However, you are not required to know the InstallScript language as there is a short tutorial for this in the course.
