Installshield 2015 and InstallShield 2008 on 1 system.
I'm currently developing with InstallShield 2008 Premier(rather old, I know) and we're thinking about taking the move to Installshield 2015 Premier.
I was wondering if: a. I can run both Installshield versions next to each other on the same development system? Without having to fear that it overwrites some files in a system folder somewhere so that it breaks the working of the older Installshield? I maintain > 10 different installer projects and it would be nice that I can convert them step by step without the pressure to delay our release schedule. b. I have currently a license for Installshield 2008. When I buy Installshield 2015, I get a license for Installshield 2015 and the one from IS2008 keeps active I suppose? c. We have 3 or 4 build systems with an instance of the IS 2008 standalone builder running. The same question like point a: can I install the IS 2015 standalone builder next to the IS 2008 standalone builder without the fear that they break something from each other?
InstallShield supports side-by-side installations of its major versions, so that should be fine.
By contrast, service packs are in-place updates so you cannot have both RTM and SP1 of a single major release without using multiple machines (or VMs).
currently we have IS2010 "command line build" installed on our packaging host, we are planning to install IS2015 command line build on same host , can I have both on same host?? can you please let me know.
