InstallShield Redistributable Downloader

Summary

Discusses the useful, but perhaps not well-known, Redistributable Downloader for InstallShield.

Synopsis

This article discusses the useful, but perhaps not well-known, Redistributable Downloader for InstallShield.

Discussion

We provide third-party redistributables as a courtesy. The list of redistributables that we provide is not an exhaustive list by any means. Ultimately, the third-party vendor is responsible for providing any of their redistributables that we have not provided.

Furthermore, because of the sheer volume of redistributables, there are times when a particular redistributable is no longer made available through the InstallShield Installation Designer > Application Data > Redistributables view, by default. In these cases, at least for .NET-related redistributables, it is worthwhile to check the Tools > Redistributable Downloader, which is a useful, but perhaps not well-known resource, for downloading older .NET-related redistributables. The Redistributable Downloader includes older .NET-related redistributables that may have been included in the Redistributables view, by default, in older versions of InstallShield. However, the decision was made to reassign the redistributables to the Redistributable Downloader.
