New InstallAware 2012 is App-V for the Masses, Offers Free Installer for Visual Studio Users
InstallAware delivers App-V packages at 1/5th the cost of InstallShield. Only InstallAware 2012 builds Hybrid App-V packages containing both 32 bit and 64 bit applications, and is available as a free installer for all Visual Studio users.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, December 30, 2011 /Programming PR News/ -- InstallAware is the sole vendor offering an App-V solution starting at only $989. "According to InstallShield's website, they are 'the only installation solution that can build Microsoft App-V packages'. I suppose this means InstallAware is now officially the second installation solution with App-V support, at only 1/5th the price point of InstallShield," says Sinan Karaca, founder of InstallAware. "In the good InstallAware tradition, we have also embraced and extended Microsoft's App-V virtualization platform, permitting the construction of hybrid 32 bit-64 bit App-V packages. A single Hybrid App-V Package produced by InstallAware can successfully virtualize both 32 bit and 64 bit applications inside a single binary, an industry first," adds Mr. Karaca.
"InstallAware continues to set installation authoring standards," observes Agustin Berge, Director of Development at InstallAware. "InstallShield have just released InstallShield 2012, which finally clones our Partial Web Deployment technology; a foundation keystone that has been in every InstallAware version. We are sincerely flattered by their imitation. InstallShield are billing themselves as the industry standard setup authoring tool, but lack our compelling features across the board - including areas of new development such as App-V application virtualization, where they lack an App-V Viewer solution."
InstallAware 2012 is also the first (and only) tool in the industry to support the new Windows 8 ecosystem, recently announced by Microsoft at the BUILD conference. InstallAware now pins applications directly to the new Windows 8 Metro user interface - giving your products prime exposure through Immersive Application Tiles. InstallAware 2012 also integrates with all Visual Studio versions including the latest CTP version 11, providing developers a one-click workflow to producing App-V packages from all of their existing Visual Studio projects - there's nothing new to learn!
Other original InstallAware innovations yet to be cloned by InstallShield include MSIcode, an extension to Windows Installer technology which builds setups that intelligently mutate at runtime based on the state of the target system; unlimited and royalty free Web Updates with customizable business logic and user interface (the Web Update Client itself was built in MSIcode and ships with source code); a two-way integrated IDE which emits MSIcode in the background as visual designers are used to prototype a setup (unlike InstallShield, the script and visual designers are not separate, divorced entities); and a stunning user interface featuring advanced Aero Glass controls, together with the only Aero Wizard user interface compliant setup wizard dialogs that are available in the industry (in addition to 16 other fully customizable setup themes).
A completely free installer for Visual Studio users is available at www.installaware.com.
