Question regarding older version of InstallShield

Hi,

I would like to know which version of InstallShield is the last to support older OS such as Windows 95 / ME

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Wow, I really haven't even jokingly tried to do win98 in almost 10 years:

But if I was, I'd say any recent version of InstallShield *should* be able to build an MSI that could run on Win 98 provided that you don't use any of the custom actions and you set the summary information stream to something really old such as Windows Installer 2.0. The setup.exe might even be able to install Windows Installer 2.0 for you. To be honest, I was using InstallShield 5.0 (Build 227?) or something like that back then. We were on NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 when I made the switch over to MSI so many moons ago.
