Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/InstallShield
What happened to ? A cursory look at the Chicago Tribune refs does give the flavor of a recycled press release, but the product is notable. If you read further down in the ''Wikipedian'' article, it says: "Although the InstallShield entry contains inadequate citations now, they definitely exist. Some of the stories are quite old, so they are not online, but it’s my opinion there is enough substantial reporting to justify their inclusion. There’s Crain’s Chicago Business in November 1997 with 'Installation-software firm set for leap into corporate arena: raising money to push beyond vendor market' and InfoWorld with 'Installation software vendor to ship enterprise version' from June 1999, and more. The software has received less press recently, but the snarky IT news site El Reg has mentioned it twice in news stories this year. Taken as a whole, it’s my professional opinion that InstallShield meets the Notability requirement. 'Other stuff exists' need not apply."  As the Chicago Tribune article says, if you used Windows in the past, you've probably used IS. Limited versions of IS were distributed with software development tools because MS laid down some installation requirements but did not supply its own application for doing it. Surprisingly, Install Shield Limited Edition apparently still ships with Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Enterprise editions.https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn531020.aspx
