Deploy Install Shield Based Application(s)

Hello -

I am new to PDQ and was curious as to whether this application can easily deploy Install Shield based products. I see that PDQ can deploy MSI based applications and I know that I can work with Install Shield products using MSIExec, but wasn't sure if PDQ could do this.

If the application can do this, can someone point me in the right direction? Can I use ISS files?

Thank you!

Hi Bob,

Yes you can deploy EXE's that are built with InstallShield. Just select the exe file (usually setup.exe) as the Install File. Add all of the parameters that you need in the Parameters field. This includes the ISS file. If the ISS file can have a relative path then you can can just pass something like /f1.\setup.iss. If you can't use a relative path then we recommend keeping the ISS file on an accessible file share and using that path. An example of the contents of your parameters field would look something like this:
```
/s /f1"\\Server\Share\Folder\setup.iss"
```
