Craiova, Dolj, Romania, 07/13/2007 - Caphyon, LLC is pleased to announce the release of Advanced Installer Professional 5.1, a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers and system administrators to easily build reliable MSI packages. Advanced Installer runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, and the install packages it
creates run on all Microsoft Windows 9x/ME/NT/2k/XP/Vista operating systems.
Windows Installer is a powerful, but very complex technology. Mastering it on
your own takes months of hard work. That's where Advanced Installer comes to
help. It creates a high level abstraction on top of the underlying technology.
With a clean, simple user interface, each operation is logical and intuitive.
Everything is done in the user interface, without complicated scripts to learn
or arcane database tables to edit.
Advanced Installer is built on
standard, open formats. The project files are saved as XML files for easy
integration with source control systems. Advanced Installer is FREE for the
simplest, most common usages. It also offers three additional licensing levels
for more sophisticated needs: Professional, For Java and Enterprise.
What's new in Advanced Installer
5.1
The 5.1 version adds support
for sequencing patches, specifying custom connection strings for running SQL
scripts, configuring different install parameters per each build and the ability
to permit selecting the language when installing multi-language packages.
The Repackager gets improved scanning filters, support for applications
requiring reboot, snapshot diff export and comparison. An option to wait for
other operations before continuing was added, allowing repackaging multiple
installs into a single one.
Two major new time-saving enhancements are
searching and editing multiple components and features at the same time and the
ability to recognize hard-coded paths and replace them with Windows Installer
properties when importing from Registry or INI files.
- Patch Sequencing
- Language selection in bootstrapper for multi-language installers
-
Support configuring different "Install Parameters" for each build
- Custom
SQL connection string
- Replace hard-coded paths with properties when
importing from registry or INI files
