Chapter 1: <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

What Was New in Earlier Versions of <strong>InstallShield</strong> <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

Ability to Specify the Minimum Initialization Time<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes a new Minimum Initialization Time setting on the Setup.exe tab for a release in<br />

the Releases view. Use this setting to specify the minimum number of seconds that the installation<br />

should display the initialization dialog—as well as the splash screen, if one is included—when end users<br />

run this release.<br />

For more information, see Setup.exe Tab.<br />

What’s New in <strong>InstallShield</strong> 12 <strong>Express</strong> <strong>Edition</strong><br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes the following new features:<br />

Ability to Target Windows Vista Systems<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> enables you to specify that your installation requires Windows Vista. It also lets you build<br />

Windows Vista–related conditions for features.<br />

<strong>User</strong> Account Control Support<br />

<strong>InstallShield</strong> includes support for the <strong>User</strong> Account Control functionality that Microsoft added for<br />

Windows Vista. Use the new Require Administrative Privileges setting in the General Information view<br />

to specify at a project-wide basis whether administrative privileges are required for an installation. Also,<br />

use the Required Execution Level setting in the Build Your Release view to specify the minimum level<br />

required by your installation’s Setup.exe file for running the installation (the setup launcher, any setup<br />

prerequisites, and the .msi file) on Windows Vista platforms.<br />

For details, see:<br />

• General Information Settings<br />

• Specifying the Required Execution Level for Your Setup Launcher on Windows Vista and Later<br />

Platforms<br />

Digital Signature Enhancements<br />

If you specify digital signature information for your installation, <strong>InstallShield</strong> automatically adds the<br />

necessary information to the MsiDigitalCertificate and MsiPatchCertificate tables. The<br />

MsiPatchCertificate table contains the information that is needed to enable <strong>User</strong> Account Control<br />

(UAC) patching. This enables you to create QuickPatch packages that can be applied by nonadministrators.<br />

In addition, the Build Installation page in the Project Assistant now offers the ability to specify digital<br />

signature information for your installation. Also, <strong>InstallShield</strong> now enables you to specify digital<br />

signature information for all media types in the Build Your Release view. Previously, only the<br />

WebDeployment media type could include digital signature information.<br />
