Over its history it had support for many different platforms, including Windows 3.1, Win32s, Windows 9x, Windows NT i386, Alpha, PPC, and MIPS, self extractors "for the web", and later even IBM AIX and Linux.
As Microsoft integrated its own "Microsoft Installer" in to Windows, InstallShiled adapted to produce ".msi" installer files.
