InstallAware simplifies the creation of installation wizard-based MSI setups with intuitive MSIcode scripting. Get rid of the constraints of visual designers or the hassle of filling MSI databases by exploiting the MSIcode environment.
MSIcode also builds a standard Windows Installer database package that fully supports install-on-demand, elevated privilege installation, resiliency, and advertising. Moreover, InstallAware's advanced development tools come with exclusive mirrored code and visual development features. These include wizards, templates, drag-and-drop editing and refined task views, with the added benefit of immediate MSIcode generation. With the visual tools, creating a project only takes seconds, and developers can switch to the Code View to add branching logic, variables, and advanced configuration options.
In addition, InstallAware's One-Click Technology Preinstalls is exclusive, and users can deploy technology modules and runtimes such as Microsoft SQL Express 2008 R2 from their setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are automatically added to the project, and the preinstall sequence branches by platform.
InstallAware's Multi-Core Compression feature allows users to use all available processor cores during the build process to reduce build times. With a dual-core processor, users can build twice as fast, while a quad-core processor can build four times as fast. Installing more cores is effortless and automatic.
Finally, InstallAware provides superior compression, enabling users to reduce the size of their setups and download packages by up to 5x with the LZMA compression algorithm and BCJ2 compression pre-processors. Only InstallAware provides advanced compression for Windows Installer setups, making it an excellent software for developers.
