InstallAware 26H1 Shipping Friday This Week

o 10X Faster Pinning: Our efforts to extend application pinning support to Snapdragon pays dividends for Intel and AMD, too. Now Start Menu and Taskbar pins take milliseconds, instead of seconds or more.

o Payload Encrypting: An anti-virus will be quick to look at your self-extracting executable and take issue with your entirely legitimate program files. Now even non-password protected packages are secure.

o Windows 26H1: The Windows Features plug-in precision configures Windows operating systems you’re installing on, with a design time UI that exactly replicates the “Turn Windows features on or off” applet.

o InstallAware SPS: Ironically, getting paid in Solana is now even more viable for micropayments – entirely thanks to crashing crypto asset values! There’s no need to go through anybody’s app store anymore.

o InstallAware DiskZIP: Think ZIP, but for your entire disk – including the whole operating system, program files, everything. Now think booting Windows directly off that ZIP, without having to unzip anything!

o ARM64 Compression: Now that Snapdragon CPUs have also been split into performance and efficiency cores, ensure that your time-sensitive compression jobs are always scheduled on the actually fastest CPU cores.

o Seamless Upgrade: No matter which setup builder you’re coming from, there’s many ways to ingest your existing projects into InstallAware – from direct MSI database imports, to setup capture based system monitors.

New InstallAware 26H1 Cuts Down False Positives

The roaring 20s are full steam ahead at InstallAware. From porting “Delphi” to true ARM64 (without the “EC” bit) to leveraging that new compiler stack, arrives new InstallAware 26H1:

o Solana Payment System: Transaction costs are now less than half of what they were when we originally launched SPS; process micro transactions with ease while Crypto Winter is here.

o Windows 11 26H1: The OEM limited release powering exciting new Snapdragon Elite X2 devices is now fully supported together with Windows Feature definitions to configure Windows 11.

o ARM64 Updates: Pin your apps to the Taskbar and Start Menu on all ARM64 versions of Windows. Compression jobs land on Performance cores in ARM64 CPUs, instead of slow Efficiencies.

o ARM64 DiskZIP: Boot Windows compressed on all Snapdragon and upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra devices. New AI enhancements ensure even corrupt disks can’t interfere with OS integrity.

o No More False Positives: Packages you create with InstallAware are now encrypted by default, so no anti-virus can look inside and jump to wrong conclusions about your applications.

Plus, DiskZIP now runs on all Hyper-V and Apple Silicon Parallels/VMware machines too! Create tens to hundreds of extra gigabytes of disk space – without ever deleting a single file.
