In fact, InstallAware<\/strong> is so good, InstallShield have begun copying our features. We won’t make it easy for them – so in this email, instead of covering our unique benefits which save developers like you time and money – we’ll cover features of ours that InstallShield have had to copy, in order to save their developers the time and money that we’ve already been saving you for as long as 8 years now!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Partial Web Deployment (8 Years<\/em>):<\/strong> InstallShield are calling this Installation Streaming. Of course, we’re still 8 years ahead of them in the game. Seamless proxy detection<\/span>, automatic resume<\/span> of broken downloads, automatic retries<\/span> when end-users are away from their terminals (so setups don’t stall waiting for input), bandwidth saving LZMA\/BCJ2 compression<\/span>, and Shared Web Media Blocks<\/span> are among features you won’t find in InstallShield.<\/p>\n

Shelling to Other Setups (8 Years<\/em>):<\/strong> InstallShield are calling this Suite Installations. InstallAware has always enabled you to run any Windows Installer setup, silently installing\/modifying\/removing features; as well as seamlessly capturing native installation progress<\/span> feedback, and displaying any interactive dialogs so user input may be natively handled – all within your own installation UI.<\/p>\n

Aero Wizards, Glass UI (5 Years<\/em>):<\/strong> While InstallShield have finally built an Aero Wizard compliant setup theme, as usual, everything happens behind the scenes leaving you no control amongst so much hard-coding. InstallAware’s implementation lets you build your own Aero Glass user interfaces which render terrific on all 4 Windows Themes<\/span>: Aero, Basic, Classic, and Luna (XP) – a major feat given the total lack of hard-coding<\/span>.<\/p>\n

32-64 Bit Mixed Installations (2 Years<\/em>):<\/strong> InstallShield can finally combine 32 bit and 64 bit installations. But only InstallAware can switch at runtime between 32 bit and 64 bit installation modes intelligently; selectively installing files and registry keys in their proper locations<\/span> based on the state of the target system that the installation is running on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
