GUI & Console Setups for
Linux, macOS & Windows All From a Single Source!
Beta 1 Accomplishments:
Native Binaries: Support Linux, macOS, and Windows with zero dependencies (no Java) - zero failures.
Single Source: A single setup script (and dialogs) that look & feel & work the same on each compiled target.
Code Signing with Notarization: macOS Gatekeeper friendly! Sign, notarize, and even staple while building.
Elevation: Official Linux/macOS/Windows privilege escalation channels (with corresponding folder paths).
Partial Web Deploy: Structure your setups into as many (shareable) online and offline segments as you like.
Tools & IDE: Command line builds, Dialog Designer, and even the script editor - just as you know & love them!
Core Commands: Install Files, Create Shortcut, Run Program, Compiler Variables; plus the visual debugger.
Native Engine: Registry-free state management, per-user/per-machine installs, runtime mutable features.
Instance Management: Local setup caching (maintenance without source), source resolution (network installs).
Custom Uninstalls: Bind to external setup logs for seamless old version removals/updates, nothing hard-coded.
Beta 3 Accomplishments:
Native ARM: macOS and Linux ARM builds for your built setups, the IDE, and the entire toolchain.
Localization: In-engine multi-lingual awareness, redistributable tool with asset isolation so your IP stays safe.
Templates: Promote any setup into your own generic template that gets added to the New Project dialog!
Samples: Showcasing the full richness of the script language, dialog controls, and everything that makes us great.
Visual Designers: Our trademark two-way integrated IDE generates code in the background as you work graphically.
Beta 4 Accomplishments:
Quick Start: Just point the wizard to your application folder, and let it create a fully fleshed out setup for you!
IDE Toolbar: Instant access to your commonly used operations - as well as setup build modes with output folders.
Stability: Substantial improvements to both the IDE's visual designers and the setup engine based on your great feedback.
Usability: From larger IDE fonts to unified dialog theme file names, a much improved, consistent user experience is now yours.
Qt5: Our first-ever Qt5 implementation is now shipping for Linux, with a native Qt5 IDE/toolchain, and of course your setup engine.
Release Candidate 1 Accomplishments:
Online Help: Just press F1 anywhere in the IDE for context sensitive documentation.
Fixed Icons: No more black borders or missing icons. Icons also implemented for File Associations.
Fixed Regressions: Compress 7Zip Archive, Check Disk Space, leftover .sh scripts on Linux after uninstalls.
IDE Enhancements: Horizontal scroll bars for the script editor, enhanced Variable Watches, platform specific keyboard shortcuts.
Engine Tuning: Resolving low-level issues reported by you from real-world testing out in the field - thank you so much for your invaluable feedback!
Release Candidate 2 Accomplishments:
Interactive Console Setup Engine: Render all your custom dialogs in 100% character mode, fully SSH/tty compatible. Build mixed mode setups, too.
Install on Any Linux OS: GUI setups fall back to the Console for 100% guaranteed Linux deliveries, in the event of missing widgetset dependencies.
Beta 2 Accomplishments:
Setup Capture: Enjoy PackageAware Multi Platform, the first-ever application repackager for macOS and Linux!
Discover changes made by any process - or any package/setup for that matter - to macOS and Linux.
Emit wildcards for newly created folders - a feature currently lacking even in its original Windows incarnation.
Leverage its multi-core engine, using all of your available CPU cores for the fastest possible snapshot comparisons.
InstallAware Import: Directly load all of your existing setup projects into InstallAware Multi Platform!
Unsupported script commands are commented out with meaningful labels, helping you piece together the missing bits.
Commands such as Install Files are automatically updated to use Multi Platform style path delimiters.
Even your dialogs are ported through - with intelligently replaced controls where necessary.
Generates ready to build, complete setups with all your Include Scripts intact.
New Commands: Featuring Create Link, the first ever Multi Platform exclusive, for hard and symlink creation.
IDE Updates: Including new Code Folding and fully unlimited script editor Undo/Redo, among a plethora of other ports.
Scaling and Stability: We've given the entire toolchain a massive pounding, with the subsequent hardening!
macOS Ventura is now fully supported with signed (and notarized) app deployments for both Intel and M1/M2 Macs.
The GUI Self-Extractor for Linux completes our platform specific feature roundup in this beta cycle.
Powered by the new PackageAware and InstallAware Import, now it's your turn to put InstallAware Multi Platform through its paces.
Release Candidate 0 Accomplishments:
100 Built-In Setup Commands: Near-parity with InstallAware's MSIcode script.
Looping constructs, string manipulation, pre-defined variables, system information.
Commands with built-in uninstallation support, custom commands with manual uninstall.
Compile-time customization, runtime decision-making, built-in localization for specific command parameters.
Enhanced commands to handle underlying platform nuances in a single line, instead of multiple lines of conditionally branching platform-specific code.
Web Updates: Entirely built in InstallAware, open source and customizable!
Added to all existing projects with a single-click.
Pre-built dialogs display, select from, and install your available updates.
Automatic targeting to match active platforms without manual coding.
Easily customize the default update script to add additional targeting by language/bitness/widgetset/etc.
New Samples, Templates, and Themes: More of your favorites ported!
Empty scripts to full projects ready for customizing without scripting.
Single-Click, User Mode, User Feedback, Online Authentication, Media Autorun, and Multi-Lingual demos.
Import-time cross-platform adaptations for command parameters.
New Visual Designers: Project Properties, File Associations, INI Files, Access Control, Local Files, Update Packs, and Versions.
Qt5 for ARM on Linux: Native IDE/toolchain/setup engine for AARCH64 on Qt5, dependency-free.
