InstallAware is windows installer without rocket science!
Unlike the monolithic installation technologies available today, InstallAware has been designed from the ground up to deliver a perfect fusion of web deployment, scripting, and Windows Installer technologies.
Windows Installer is a highly advanced installation system, offering unprecedented levels of scalability and reliability. However, this comes at the cost of complexity. Creating a basic setup in Windows Installer entails populating multiple database tables, all interrelated to one another. Getting to the point where you can author mildly sophisticated setups in Windows Installer takes months of learning.
InstallAware knows Windows Installer, so you don't have to.
- You are always completely isolated from all intricacies of Windows Installer
- Never learn a single thing about the installation database structure
- Never worry about populating a single database table
As you author your setup, InstallAware will generate the necessary Windows Installer tables and databases for you behind the scenes, magically.
