What is a .IWZ file?

The .IWZ file extension is associated with a type of file known as an InstallShield Express 2 Project File. This kind of file is created by a software program called InstallShield Express, specifically the version 2.x. InstallShield Express is designed to help users create installation packages for software applications. These installation packages are built using something called InstallScript, which is a scripting language used to automate the installation process.

An .IWZ file contains all the important project information needed to put together an installation package. This includes various settings that determine how the installation should proceed, the actual InstallScript code that executes the installation steps, the names of the files that need to be installed, and any dialog images and text that appear during the installation process. Essentially, this file holds the blueprint for how a software application will be installed on a user's computer.

To open an .IWZ file, you would need to use Flexera InstallShield, which is the program that originally created it. Flexera InstallShield is a widely recognized tool for developing Windows installers. It allows developers to package up their software applications into installers that users can easily run to install the software on their computers.

It's important to note that .IWZ files are specifically used with older Express versions of InstallShield. This means that they might not be compatible with the latest versions of InstallShield or other software installation tools. If you're working with or need to open an .IWZ file, you'll likely need to use a version of InstallShield that supports these older project files.
