Shelling to Other Setups

Shell to Windows Installer

InstallAware recognizes the needs of systems administrators handling complex software deployment tasks, and offers unique mechanisms by which setups developed by third-parties can be seamlessly and silently integrated into your own installation routine.

InstallAware enables you to execute any MSI setup, using either the original setup database or the product code to:

  • Detect installed products,
  • Install a new product from scratch,
  • Re-install an existing product,
  • Upgrade an existing product,
  • Change the installed feature set for a product, or
  • Uninstall a product,

all as part of your main InstallAware installation. Unnecessary reboots are eliminated and you have the power to deploy all kinds of software in a single pass, each configured exactly the way you want it - and all within a single installation run.
