Advanced Installer Professional is a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers and system administrators to easily build reliable MSI packages.

Advanced Installer runs on Windows 2000/XP, and the install packages it creates run on all Microsoft Windows 9x/ME/NT/2k/XP 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. If additional capabilities are needed, they are available at some of the lowest prices in the industry.

Limitations:

· Advanced Installer comes in three editions: Freeware, Professional and For Java. The Freeware edition does not need registering and is free to use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. The Professional and For Java editions have a trial period during which they can only be used for evaluation purposes. After this trial period, you must register the product or stop using it altogether.


What's New in This Release:

· This new version adds support for creating 64-bit packages, as well as removing files, folders, registry keys and values on install. User defined MSI properties and folders based on properties permit more flexible installation scenarios.
