The isn file extension is associated with InstallShield, an installation development tool from Flexera Software, Inc. for Microsoft Windows.
An isn file contains source data used by InstallShield as part of the installer development process. It is a project-related file rather than a standalone application or a general-purpose document, and it is intended to be used with the InstallShield project that created it.
Open an isn file with InstallShield on Microsoft Windows. The file may need to be accessed from its associated InstallShield project rather than opened as a standalone document.
Conversion to other formats is not possible. To produce an installation package, open the associated project in InstallShield and build the installer.
