New InstallAware 2012 Is App-V for the Masses, First to Support Windows 8, and First to Integrate With Visual Studio 11
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; Includes an App-V Viewer Which Reveals the Contents of Any Existing App-V Package; and Features Tight Windows 8 Ecosystem Support Including Visual Studio 11 Integration
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/03/11 -- Install Software is launching Install 2012 on Friday, October 7th this week. Install is the leading setup authoring tool for ISVs and enterprises deploying products, patches and web updates. New in Install2012 is the ability to instantly build Microsoft App-V packages from any existing Install project. Unique in Install2012's App-V support is an App-V Viewer which may be used to open and review the contents of any pre-existing App-V package. Install 2012 also integrates with Visual Studio 11, offering fully automated installer and App-V package creation from any existing Visual Studio solution.
Install 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 Install 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 Install. "In the good Install 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 Install can successfully virtualize both 32 bit and 64 bit applications inside a single binary, an industry first," adds Mr. Karaca.
"Install continues to set installation authoring standards," observes Agustin Berge, Director of Development at Install. "InstallShield have just released InstallShield 2012, which finally clones our Partial Web Deployment technology; a foundation keystone that has been in every Install 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."
Install 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. Install now pins applications directly to the new Windows 8 Metro user interface -- giving your products prime exposure through Immersive Application Tiles. Install 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 Install 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).
Install is available in multiple editions, including free editions for Visual Studio and RAD Studio developers. Fully unrestricted 30-day trial downloads for all paid editions are available at . Significant competitive upgrade discounts are available for both InstallShield and Wise customers at , and are immediately accessible when an old InstallShield or Wise serial is provided on the page starting from $669USD. Instant project conversion from InstallShield and Wise projects makes it a snap to upgrade to Install from these technologically obsolete platforms.
