how to download InstallShield 2023 Express tiral?

[ekgns1126]

I am currently installing InstallShield 2023 Trial and using it.

However, you cannot create Setup.exe for Windows XP SP3 in this version.

While checking technical documents, I found that the InstallShield 2023 Express version supports Windows XP SP3.

I've been browsing revena's official site, but I can't find a way to download the InstallShield 2023 Express Trial.

Is there any way to install InstallShield 2023 Express Trial?

Hi @ekgns1126,

Thank you for your post.

InstallShield Express Edition, not just InstallShield 2023 Express Edition, was discontinued. New licenses of InstallShield Express Edition are no longer being sold. However, you are welcome to evaluate and/or purchase InstallShield Edition (formerly, Professional Edition) or InstallShield Premier Edition, which it sounds like you're already doing.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

If Express Edition has been discontinued as you say, does any edition of InstallShield 2023 currently available for purchase not allow you to create Setup.exe targeting Windows XP SP3?

Also, after checking the technical documentation, it appears that InstallShield 2022 can create Setup.exe for Windows XP SP3.

Can I still download the Trial of InstallShield 2022 or purchase a license from the revena website?

Hi @ekgns1126,

Thank you for your post.

I researched this issue, and it looks like you could purchase a concurrent license, which would give you access to InstallShield 2014 up until InstallShield 2023 R2, which is our latest InstallShield version.

I checked and confirmed that InstallShield 2021 was the most recent non-Express Edition that supported targeting Windows XP SP3.

Can't I really create Setup.exe for Windows XP SP3 in InstallShield 2022?
I was thinking that it would be possible in InstallShield 2022, as written in the technical document below.
