What is an IDT file?

IDT files mostly belong to InstallShield. IDT files can be one of two types. In some cases the file is a Windows executable used to launch an installer. This version is part of a program such as the one from InTouch Machine Edition and runs like other EXE files in Windows.
In other cases, the file is an InstallShield project data file. This form is used during the creation of software installation packages. It holds project data that InstallShield reads to generate an installer. More details are available on the Revenera website.
Key points compiled by FilExt.com:
  • File can be a self-contained executable that starts an installer.
  • Alternatively, it may store project data for InstallShield.
  • The way to open the file depends on its internal format.
  • If it is an EXE, it will run on Windows. If it is a project file, you need InstallShield software.
  • How to open IDT files

    You need a suitable software like InstallShield to open an IDT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your IDT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a IDT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
