New InstallAware 11 is Free for Visual Studio Users, Offers Seamless Upgrade Path from Wise
InstallAware 11 includes a new free edition which integrates with Visual Studio and builds setups in a single click. InstallAware 11 is the emerging market leader for software installations, offering the only alternative to InstallShield.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 18, 2011 /Programming PR News/ -- InstallAware Software is launching InstallAware 11 on Friday this week. InstallAware 11 is the leading setup authoring tool for ISVs and enterprises deploying products, patches, and web updates. For the first time, InstallAware 11 is available in a free edition that integrates with Visual Studio - creating setups in a single click, automatically scanning Visual Studio solution files and dependencies. InstallAware 11 also offers one-click upgrade wizards from leading software installation technology vendors, including InstallShield and Wise.
"Just like Intel, we have adopted a tick-tock development model to drive our innovation," says Royi Sher, Director of Marketing and Sales at InstallAware. "InstallAware 10 was our technology release, bringing to market our new Native Code Setup Engine, a faster and reliable alternative to Windows Installer. This was the tick. InstallAware 11 is our customer driven release, implementing virtually every customer request we have received to date. This is the tock. In this way, release after release, InstallAware continues to drive technology innovation in the installer industry, reliably and predictably."
InstallAware 11 implements many new setup commands, both at the setup script level and the visual designer level. Unlike ageing tools like InstallShield, InstallAware's setup script and visual designers are not disjoint entities. The visual designers are simply a graphical representation of the human readable, syntax-free, conditionally flowing setup script called MSIcode. InstallAware is easy because setups may be rapidly prototyped with the visual designers, which emit the necessary MSIcode in the background. And InstallAware is scalable and powerful because, at any time during this process, the developer may drop-down to the MSIcode script, adding custom business logic or other runtime branching logic; around the MSIcode that was just visually created.
This round-tripping process, combined with InstallAware's unsurpassed runtime decision-making capabilities, translates into real-world savings of cost and time. For instance, Embarcadero switched to InstallAware from InstallShield for their renowned Delphi/C++ Builder product line; because it helped them consolidate the 40+ installers they had to build with InstallShield into just one - made possible with InstallAware's unique MSIcode technology.

InstallAware is available in multiple editions, including a new free edition. Free downloads are available at www.installaware.com _http://www.installaware.com_. Significant competitive upgrade discounts are available for both InstallShield and Wise customers at www.installaware.com/buydirect.asp _http://www.installaware.com/buydirect.asp_ - accessible immediately when an old InstallShield or Wise serial is provided on the page.
