The most important Microsoft OS release in years, Windows
Vista delivers major features and updates that impose additional
challenges for applications and installers. Target Vista with your
installers by using Advanced Installer to author installs with
minimal UAC elevation prompts, digitally signed and meeting the
requirements for the Windows Vista Logo Certification. The Windows Installer technology was built to alleviate the
issues faced by developers wanting to install software on the
Windows platform. The solutions range from the supporting
installation file, registry, shortcuts and file associations to
Windows services, .NET and Win32 assemblies and digitally signed MSI
packages. With Advanced Installer you can digitally sign the setups
you create, authenticating your products and giving your users
confidence and peace of mind. Advanced Installer allows you to install prerequisite
applications that your software requires in order to run correctly.
For example the .NET Framework, Java Runtime Environment, Acrobat
Reader, browsers or databases. The prerequisites can be bundled in
your package or downloaded on demand only if found missing on the
user's computer. With Advanced Installer's Patch projects you can quickly
and easily create Windows Installer patches, thus enabling users to
update their applications to the latest developments without
downloading the entire new version. With Advanced Installer you can create
Windows Installer packages in any language. Already included are:
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Dutch,
etc. Translating additional languages is as easy as editing an XML
file. |
