MimarSinan Releases InstallAware 3

Windows Installer based software packaging and deployment

Ankara, TURKEY, November 11, 2004 - MimarSinan International has released
InstallAware 3 for Windows Installer; software for ISVs and systems
administrators building and deploying software installations targeting the
Microsoft Windows and Microsoft .NET Platforms.

InstallAware 3 features a two-way integrated setup editor. The new Visual
view allows rapid setup development, automatically generating the necessary
scripting commands for the setup script. Switching to the Code view reveals
the underlying script and allows full control over the entire setup process.
Both views are always kept in sync - changes made in one view will always be
visible in another. When the setup is built, the installation script is
automatically converted into a MSI database - no knowledge of Windows
Installer, or its complicated database tables, is required at any point
during the authoring process.

InstallAware 3 continues to provide unique features: Web Media Blocks allow
splitting a setup into multiple offline and online parts, ideal for
isolating application runtimes and rarely used features from the main setup.
Two new setup themes are available, for a total of ten; and the Dialog
Editor features a brand new FlashFrame control, which can be used to display
interactive Flash billboards inside progress dialogs. The LZMA algorithm
works miracles in compressing files, reducing the entire .NET runtime to
only 11MB, instead of the usual 23MB. MSI Shelling installs/uninstalls any
MSI based setup from within a master setup, capturing and integrating its
progress seamlessly, and eliminating the need for setup re-engineering in
corporate administration scenarios.

InstallAware 3 also offers an automation interface for programmatically
emitting and building complete setup projects. The automation interface
allows to customize and build any installation on-the-fly, such as from a
web page based on a configuration selected by a visitor.

InstallAware 3 is available in Express, Professional and Enterprise
editions, with prices ranging from $99.95 - $799.95 (US). Further
information and a free time-limited trial version are available from
http://www.installaware.com/.
