it is a simple question but i do not find an answer. I know that an ism-file is an InstallShield project file. Can somebody tell me how ism is written out? Or does it only means ism = installshield (project file)?
I don't think the letters "ism" mean anything; it's just "msi" (the Windows Installer package extension) spelled backward, and the initial "I" suggests "InstallShield"...

🙂 I used to tell people that it stood for InstallShield MSI project, but then the same file extension is also used for InstallScript projects, so there went that theory.
ism is the extention for Installshield -as in the file that controls that particular Installshield project . Other than that – it’s a suffix that denotes a distinctive system of beliefs, myth, doctrine or theory that guides a social movement, institution, class or group.
