InstallShield '''INS''' is a compiled installation script for the [[InstallShield]] installation software for Windows. The file is usually named "setup.ins", though other filenames are possible.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, the ''real'' setup.ins file is contained in an [[InstallShield Z]] archive of the same name.<br />
<br />
See also [[InstallShield INX]] (successor?).<br />
<br />
See [[InstallShield]] for more InstallShield formats.<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
There seem to be three main versions of INS format. We'll name them based on the year they first appeared, pending determination of the versions of InstallShield that produce them.<br />
<br />
The "1993" format starts with bytes {{magic|ff ff 0c 00 ?? 00 34 12}}. The only observed values of the "<code>??</code>" byte are <code>14</code> and (rarely) <code>15</code>.<br />
<br />
The "1995" format starts with bytes {{magic|b8 c9 0c 00 ?? 00 34 12}}. The only observed values of the "<code>??</code>" byte are <code>16</code> and <code>1c</code>.<br />
<br />
The "1997" format starts with bytes {{magic|b8 c9 0c 00 ?? 00 01 00}}. The only observed values of the "<code>??</code>" byte are <code>49</code> and <code>50</code>.<br />
