Schaumburg, IL - Nov 11, 2010 - Flexera Software, the leading provider of strategic solutions for Application Usage Management for application producers and their customers, today announced that the readers of Visual Studio Magazine have once again selected Flexera Software's InstallShield®, the leading installation authoring solution for the Microsoft® Windows® platform, as the winner of the Visual Studio Readers Choice 2010 Award in the Installation, Setup and Deployment Tools category. This is the sixth year in a row that InstallShield has won this prestigious award, reflecting Flexera Software's ability to sustain the highest levels of functionality, ease of use, and customer satisfaction with the software.
Each year, Visual Studio Magazine turns to its readers to recognize the most highly regarded and valued third-party tools in the Visual Studio and Microsoft .NET Framework development space. This year's Visual Studio Magazine Readers Choice Awards span 29 categories.
For more than 20 years, InstallShield has been the gold standard for building Windows software installations, integrated seamlessly with Visual Studio 2010. InstallShield 2011 makes it easy to build professional Windows Installer (MSI) and InstallScript software installers for desktop, server, Web, and mobile applications created using any language and framework in Visual Studio.
This award from the Visual Studio developer community comes on the heels of InstallShield 2011 being recommended by Microsoft's Visual Studio team as an installation solution-of-choice for Visual Studio, and InstallShield technology being bundled with all copies of Visual Studio.
"We are very proud to have won this award for the sixth year running. InstallShield is Microsoft's installation solution of choice for Visual Studio and remains the clear favorite of Visual Studio users around the world," said Maureen Polte, director of product management for InstallShield at Flexera Software. "Our continued recognition by Visual Studio in this Readers Choice Award is a clear reflection of the state of the industry today-when most developers build applications with Visual Studio, they also build their installations with InstallShield."
