InstallAnywhere 2013
InstallAnywhere is the leading multiplatform development solution for application producers who need to deliver a professional and consistent cross installation experience for physical, virtual and cloud environments. From a single project file and build environment, InstallAnywhere creates reliable installations for on-premises platforms – Windows, Linux, Apple OS X, Solaris, AIX , HP-UX, and IBM iSeries – and enables you to take existing and new software products to a virtual and cloud infrastructure.
If you develop applications for multiple
platforms in both on-premises and virtual environments, trying to manually
create installations for each one is a time-consuming and error-prone process.
It often leads to release delays and installation errors that frustrate end
users and increase your support costs. For some, a lack of internal resources
and skills may even prohibit them from taking advantage of the cloud and virtual
environments.
InstallAnywhere makes it easy for even the most
novice multiplatform installation developer to create professional installation
software for virtually any platform in both physical and virtual environments.
It is available in two editions (Professional and Premier) and in two languages
(English and Japanese).

Note: When you install InstallAnywhere on a Linux
system, the installation attempts to create a symbolic link to
the default Linux loader (/lib/ld-linux.so.2) if a link with the
same name is not already present. The symbolic link is necessary
for the host ID to be displayed on the Host ID dialog, and it is
also necessary for successful node-locked licensing. The link is
present on systems that are Linux Standard Base (LSB) 3
compliant, but it may not be present on systems that are not LSB
compliant. For more information, see Knowledge Base article
Q209204.
