IST files refer to project templates created using InstallShield. This application is useful for making Windows Installer and InstallScript installation packages. The IST files contain reusable templates, default settings, design elements, codes, directory structures, texts, default images and custom scripts. They provide pre-formatted templates on which to base installation projects.
The InstallShield software commonly creates .msi Windows Installers. The .ist files made by InstallShield hold templates storing settings, designs, structures, scripts, code, images, and text. This allows faster creation of installation packages without starting from scratch each time.
InstallShield originally developed by Flexera Software primarily uses the IST file. Our data shows IST files are most popular in the United States on Windows 10. Teams can create and distribute templates to standardize installations among projects using InstallShield Professional and Premiere editions.
