InstallAnywhere
Multiplatform Installation Solution to Install Cross-Platform Applications
InstallAnywhere is the leading multiplatform
development solution for software producers who need to deliver a
professional and consistent installation experience for cross-platform
desktop and server applications. From a single project file and build
environment, InstallAnywhere enables developers to create reliable
installations for the broadest range of current platforms including Windows,
Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and IBM iSeries.
If you develop applications for multiple
platforms, trying to manually create installers 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.
InstallAnywhere makes it easy for even the
most novice installation developer to create professional installers for
virtually any platform. It is available in two editions (Enterprise and
Standard) and in two languages (English and Japanese).
