What's new

v19.0 [Apr 23, 2015]
Native Code Setup Engine with InstantInstall Acceleration
The Native Code engine runs faster than Windows Installer and let's you install/repair/uninstall in Windows Safe Mode! Now your setups will be immune to corrupted Windows Installer stacks on target computers, which would prevent setups to be installed through no fault of your own. When you use the Native Code Setup Engine, setups are accelerated with InstantInstall Technology to install an order of magnitude faster.
Digital Rights Management
InstallAware DRM protects any Win32, Win64, or .NET application - with zero changes to your existing source code! Use any number of expiration parameters in Try-and-Die mode
Auto-Correcting Fields
Now with the auto-correcting IDE, you are spared from common authoring mistakes and pitfalls. Dismissible help hints have also been added to guide you through certain processes.
Free Unlimited Triple-Mode Web Updates
Deploy an unlimited number of royalty-free application updates to your end-users. Plus, its possible to customize the update user experience - freely edit update dialogs, and tweak the update logic. Choose scheduled updates, or manual on-demand update checking, or automatic updates to guarantee that the latest version of your application always gets run and/or installed. Also ideal for building dynamically updated Software Bundles with your product.

Enhanced! Automated Translations
Use InstallAware's Localization Wizard to automatically translate your user interface and MSIcode script. Switch languages at compile time or runtime. Existing translations are preserved when making changes to your MSIcode and user interface.
Exclusive! Out-of-the-Box Windows 8 Support
From displaying installation progress on the Windows Taskbar, to unpinning your applications from the controversial new Windows 8 Start Screen, and pinning them to the Windows Taskbar, InstallAware gives you the best exposure for your applications through smart use of the latest technology.
Exclusive! Set up 64 Bit and 32 Bit Systems with the Same Installer
Detect and support ia64 and x64 systems including Itanium, AMD64, and EM64T. Only InstallAware allows you to ship a single hybrid MSI for both your 32 bit and 64 bit customers.
Exclusive! Detect and Manage Setups on Virtual Machines
Now InstallAware can check your target system and detect whether the operating system is running on a virtual machine. A simple checkbox lets you limit distributions to physical machines.
Exclusive! Only to Support Aero Glass
InstallAware is the only installer that lets you create custom glass surfaces on your installation wizards. InstallAware also ships with a built-in Aero Wizard setup theme so your setups look light years ahead of your competition!
Exclusive! One-Click Technology Preinstalls
Deploy technology modules and runtimes, such as Microsoft SQL Express 2012, from your setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are added to your project automatically. Plus, the preinstall sequence branches by platform.
Exclusive! 1-Click Patching
Select your old and new setups, click Build Patch, and InstallAware automatically generates a native MSP-file that is packaged using advanced compression.
