InstallAware offers an IDE for creating MSI setups for Windows using Microsoft's WiX platform. WiX is used by Microsoft for creating industry-standard software installers such as Office, and WiXAware brings this powerful tool to everyone.
If you're looking for a powerful and easy-to-use tool for creating professional MSI installs, WiXAware is the perfect solution. With our Windows Installer authoring tool, you don't need to have any complex scripting or database knowledge to get started.
WiXAware is Microsoft Windows Standards Compliant and allows you to create installs that fulfill the requirements for the Microsoft Windows logo certification process. This means that administrators can use your MSI setups to silently and automatically deploy packages onto thousands of corporate workstations.
Based on WiX (Windows Installer XML) Technology, WiXAware empowers your setups using the same technology that Microsoft teams internally use to build world-class installers, such as the Office suite.
WiXAware is the only IDE with Automatic WiX XML Code Generation. As you use the WiXAware visual designers to configure your settings like files, shortcuts, and registry keys, WiXAware generates the underlying XML code for you. With the ability to directly edit the code that has been generated, you have complete control over your project.
WiXAware even offers a visual dialog editor with automatic WiX code generation and two-way integrated editing, making it easier than ever to create the perfect MSI setups.
Digital signatures are vital in today's security-conscious environment, and WiXAware lets you create digitally signed MSI packages. This not only makes your packages compliant with the latest security requirements but also gives your users confidence in your product.
WiXAware offers a Patch project, which creates Windows Installer patch files for updating your applications already in the field. Users download a small native MSP file that contains only the binary differential updates to your software, nothing more.
Overall, WiXAware is an excellent tool that makes it easy to create professional and compliant MSI installs. With its powerful features and user-friendly interface, it's the ideal choice for developers looking to streamline their software deployment process.
