Does InstallSheild 2012 run on Windows Server 2016
My company is upgrading servers due to security concerns. They will be moving InstallShield 2012 to a Windows Server 2016. It is currently running on a Windows Server 2008 R2.
Will we need to upgrade InstallShield or will it run without issue?
Thanks,
Alan

with a quick view into the Flexera KB you can find the answer:

It is not supported. This means: it could work anyways, but the vendor did never test it. For W2k16 they say Installshield 2016 or newer.
Thanks for your quick response. I did see that in the knowledge base. I was hoping somebody had some experience with it. I am having issues launching InstallSheild on that server but I don't know yet if it's an incompatibility or a problem when they imaged the machine.
