One must first know more about the DLL. Is it a WinPE ( native ) dll with exported functions? Is it a COM server? Or perhaps it is a .NET assembly with or without ComVisible types.
A better answer can be provided if there is more information.
For InstallShield:
One way to consume a .NET ComVisible class is to write an InstallScript custom action and use the DotNetCoCreateObject() function.
Another approach would be to define a managed custom action. Here is an tutorial.
But my favorite approach is to write a DTF custom action to encapsulate your assembly.
