InstallAware delivers a
round-tripping IDE with integrated Design and MSIcode views:
- Build your setup rapidly using the visual designers
- Swap to the MSIcode view and fine tune your setup script
- Swap back to the visual designers and make further refinements
- As you switch between the views, the IDE always keeps
both views in sync
InstallAware's two-way integrated
IDE is unlike other installation IDEs which offer a proprietory
or third party scripting language. With other IDEs, the visual
designers are permanently divorced from the script editors.
The script editors simply offer a place to code in custom
behavior, but they are not related in any way to what goes
on in your main setup (such as the files being copied, the
registry keys being created, and so on). This makes it very
difficult to conditionalize what happens in setups or to code
advanced, custom installation logic required to meet specific
install needs.
InstallAware's unique two-way
integrated IDE, in tandem with InstallAware's
unique MSIcode technology,
delivers a single setup script which is your entire installation.
Nothing happens behind the scenes, and any changes you make
in the visual designers are immediately reflected in the MSIcode view
which the IDE automatically maintains for you. You can precisely
code your setup logic and conditionalize execution flow to
meet any kind of installation needs, from the simplest to
the most complex. |
