New InstallAware 9 First to Deliver Native Windows 7 Benefits
San Francisco, CA, May 4 2009 - InstallAware Software Corporation has released InstallAware 9, a setup authoring tool for ISVs and enterprises deploying products, patches, and web updates. InstallAware 9 creates native MSI format Windows Installer setup packages with support for the latest technologies, including Windows 7, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1, Microsoft SQL Server Express 2008 Service Pack 1, Internet Explorer 8, and their 64 bit variants.
"We are demonstrating our leadership in the installation industry by shipping the first tool to market with native Windows 7 support," says Sinan Karaca, founder of InstallAware Software Corporation. "With InstallAware 9, we're giving developers access to very valuable real-estate on end-user desktops through our unique 'pinning' technology. Applications installed with InstallAware may be pinned directly on the new Windows 7 Taskbar, or on the top of the new Start Menu that ships with Windows XP and upwards. This provides the greatest possible exposure for applications on modern Windows platforms. InstallAware is the only installation vendor at this time to provide this priceless benefit, beating all other vendors including InstallShield to the chase." InstallAware 9 setups also display native installation progress and error feedback directly on the taskbar, a popular Windows 7 feature which is currently leveraged by web browsers such as Internet Explorer 8 for displaying do wnload progress, but which even Microsoft's own Windows Installer does not yet support on Windows 7.
InstallAware 9 ships with a full selection of the latest 32 bit technology frameworks, and adds a full complement for 64 bit application runtimes as well. "A popular request was for us to deliver a full set of 32 and 64 bit application runtimes for technologies such as SQL Server Express and Microsoft .NET Compact Framework," adds Agustin K-ballo Berge, Vice President of Research and Development at InstallAware. "As a developer-centric organization, we delivered. Of course, in the good InstallAware tradition, we're providing the MSIcode scripts for installing all these new runtimes so they can be customized freely, as well as compressing them better."
InstallAware 9 is also the first InstallAware version to feature automatic translation of setup projects into 35 languages, out-of-the-box. The updated Localization Wizard automatically translates all InstallAware generated text in setups, while still retaining the ability to perform and consume manual translations on custom setup strings. Developers may now tap international markets effortlessly with their new multi-lingual installation routines.
InstallAware is available in four editions, with prices starting at US$399. A time limited trial and more information is available at http://www.installaware.com/
