Visual Studio 2008 Support
InstallShield is the ultimate setup solution for .NET software developers with full support for Visual Studio, including Visual Studio 2008 and 2005.

InstallShield lets you create your installations within the same Visual Studio interface where you create your products, making .NET install authoring more efficient. All InstallShield's views are presented within the Visual Studio .NET Solution Explorer in a separate window, so no scrolling is necessary and side-by-side viewing options are available.

With full .NET integration and support, InstallShield gives you everything you need to efficiently author reliable .NET software installations. You have the option of creating installations directly within the Visual Studio interface or using the intuitive InstallShield IDE. You can also link the primary outputs of your .NET projects to your installs, scan C# and .NET projects for file dependencies, configure .NET custom actions, distribute the .NET Framework or .NET Compact Framework, and much more.

InstallShield ensures your .NET installations are always current and reliable. It dynamically links your install project to other Visual Studio .NET project outputs, automatically updating your installation with your latest source files every time your product is built. Your installation projects also automatically include both Debug and Release build configurations, ensuring the proper source files will be included in your build.

Full support for Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 are available in InstallShield Premier and Professional Editions. InstallShield Express Edition only currently supports Visual Studio 2005.
