InstallAware Express for Windows Installer is a tool that allows you to create installer databases.
Set up 64 Bit and 32 Bit Systems with the Same Installer Detect and support ia64 and x64 systems including Itanium, AMD64, and EM64T. Only InstallAware allows you to ship a single hybrid MSI for both your 32 bit and 64 bit customers.
Detect and target setups for Vista systems, and install into restricted user accounts. 1-Click Patching Select your old and new setups, click Build Patch, and InstallAware automatically generates a native MSP-file that is packaged using advanced compression.
Refined User Interface Deliver setups that display the latest visual themes. 15 unique dialog themes, non-rectangular setup windows, plus Flash and HTML billboards, make your setups more interesting and more interactive. WebAware Installation Technology Reduce download size by removing technology dependencies (such as the .NET Framework) or rarely used features from your main setup file.
The main setup will download them seamlessly from the web as needed. Files required by the minimum configuration are included in the main package, which installs without a web connection. Extend Setups with Custom Programs Run any program as part of your setup, without requiring a particular program location or having to install the program together with your setup.
Run before/after your install/uninstall, or even from the finish dialog. Five Minutes to an Installer Build setups in minutes using wizards, templates, and samples. Then make refinements using InstallAware's intuitive task-based views.
Java Installation Support. Build Java application installations with support for preinstalling Java Virtual Machines and runtime environments on Windows systems. Complete project sample included.
