Convenience is a rare commodity these days.<\/strong>

– Macs inconvenience you with no installer at all<\/strong>: You can’t repair, update, or automatically uninstall your apps.

– Microsoft inconveniences you with having to learn at least three full development stacks<\/strong> just to build MSIX packages!

– Linux inconveniences you with a plethora of incompatible package managers<\/strong> and their package conflicts that can kill your OS.

Our slogan 20 years ago was “Windows Installer without Rocket Science<\/em><\/strong>“, because it was literally harder to build your setup than it was to build your app.

20 years later it’s only gotten worse!

– Nobody wants you to be able to directly distribute your own apps, shoehorning you into one proprietary app store or another; where they can yank your apps from under you any second.<\/strong>

– Everybody seems to agree that software installation must be made as complicated as possible, with extensive learning and testing required before even an elementary package may be deployed.

Only InstallAware helps you:

o Retain 100% control over your distribution and sales process<\/strong>, integrating your licesing into your installation workflow any way you like (including technologies such as blockchain activations).

o Ensure 100% success during deployment, thanks to Native Code Setup Engines<\/strong> which run without any dependencies on Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), and Linux (GTK2, Qt5, and Console\/Text Mode<\/em> only)<\/strong>.

o Secure 100% of your bits<\/strong> to be sourced from your main setup payload, ordinary web servers, private networks, or even decentralized (BitTorrent)<\/em> – whilst giving you complete freedom in choosing what goes where.

o Author 100%<\/strong> of your setups using an intuitive, human readable, runtime-decision-making setup script<\/strong> – which gets compiled into three operating systems, three CPU architectures, and a growing number of package formats.

o Shrink 100%<\/strong> of your data using both the fastest and the most effective data compression technology available – from a parallel build engine<\/strong> using all your CPU cores, to single-core acceleration<\/strong> of non-parallelizable workloads.

o Update 100%<\/strong> of your apps, delivering tightly optimized binary-differential-patches<\/strong> (or full version upgrades) that are targeted by your business logic\/product edition\/language<\/strong>; with an update client that is written in InstallAware<\/strong> itself<\/em>.

InstallAware<\/strong> has been called “the convenience of obviousness<\/u><\/em><\/strong>” by one of our favorite clients. Reward yourself with this simplicity today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
