File extension .ISD
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| InstallShield Dialog Format | Flexera Software | Layout Files |
The ISD file extension is related to the Flexera InstallShield, a setup authoring tool used in the installation of software into Windows based systems. This type of file allows InstallShield users to create customized dialog boxes so developers can guide the customers through the installation process. The purpose of an ISD file is to inform customers about various options while installing the application, such as licensing agreements, drive or folder paths, etc. In some cases, an ISD file may also be used for making custom setups for the users.
Features & Functions
The ISD files are normally seen in InstallShield Express, one of the versions of InstallShield. These files are saved in plain text format and contain references with data that includes the size and type of dialog box being created, properties of the controls used to contain it and gestures used to interact with it. The content of an ISD file can written using natural language or scripting language. The common scripting languages used are Visual BasicScript or JavaScript.
Some similar file extensions include ISM, IPR, ISMlogfile, ISE, and EXE.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ISD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ISD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ISD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ISD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ISD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ISD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ISD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ISD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ISD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ISD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
