title: what is difference between installshield and windowsinstaller
body: <p>Installshield will create software packages which can be in msi or rpm etc.. Will Windows installer also create msi and rpm files? or is this a tool embedded in Windows operating system which is required to run msi file, is that correct? What i am saying we will create msi file by using install shield, then we will give it to the customer and they will install msi with the help of windows installer embedded in their operating systems and generate exe file, is that correct?</p>
