ISE - InstallShield Express Project File

What is a ISE file

ISE files are most commonly associated with the program InstallShield Express. The program is used to create installers for the Windows operating system. The ISE file stores all kinds of project settings of InstallShield Express, as well as code. This includes dialog settings, names, and locations. The ISE file extension is used for projects created in InstallShield Express 4.0 and later, but not by earlier versions.

ISE files are used to create installation packages for Windows. However, they are exclusive to InstallShield Express. Projects saved in InstallShield Professional or Premiere are saved with the ISM extension.

Here's a small, but not exhaustive list of programs that can open ISE documents:

  • Flexera InstallShield (Windows)
