Exclusive! Detect and Manage Setups on Virtual Machines
Now InstallAware can check your target system and detect whether the operating system is running on a virtual machine. A simple checkbox lets you limit distributions to physical machines.

The Only Installer with Vista Glass Support
Now with Vista Glass support, InstallAware's powerful dialog editor lets you customize the 15 pre-built setup themes, or design your own. A full range of visual controls are available, including Explorer-style browsers, HTML/Flash containers, and now custom glass surfaces.

Exclusive! Extend Setups with Plug-Ins
Build your own setup plug-ins that natively interact with InstallAware MSIcode. Use your favorite programming language to perform complex setup tasks, without being encumbered by MSI constraints or a foreign development environment.

Integrated Debugging
Debug your setups visually with the integrated debugger. Set variable watches, step through code line by line, override variable values.

Enhanced! Simplified Translation Tools
Use InstallAware's visual localization tool to translate your user interface and MSIcode text, or send the freely-redistributable localization tool to an off-site service so they can perform the localization for you. Switch languages at compile time or runtime. Existing translations are preserved when making changes to your MSIcode and user interface.

Exclusive! Collect User Feedback and Product Registrations
An easily edited sample project demonstrates how to perform online user registration as part of the installation process. When uninstalling, the project asks the user for product feedback and submits it to your website.

New! Serial Number Generation
A new sample project provides MSIcode to build a unique 25 digit serial number generator and perform serial number validation in your wizard based on variables such as username, company, and/or other criteria. Serial numbers are not restricted to a simple range of numbers.

Exclusive! Multi-Instance Support on All Windows Platforms
Allow users to install multiple copies of your application on the same system, without requiring instance transforms or adding an MSI 3.0 dependency. Supports Windows 95 through Windows Vista.

Exclusive! Dynamic Feature Lists
Use MSIcode and variables to define product features based on target conditions or user entitlements. Only InstallAware provides feature-level customizations at runtime.

Exclusive! System Tray Minimized Setups
The new System Tray MSIcode command allows you to minimize your setup as an icon in the system tray. Use the MessageBalloon command to prompt users when a process needs their attention.

Exclusive! Dynamic User Validation
Use the included Authentication sample project to pass parameters or credentials to your website and save the results in a local file, which you search for the required authentication. Open access to certain features or to the entire setup.

Exclusive! Automatic Removal of Prior Versions
When a previous version is detected, InstallAware will provide the option to uninstall it before proceeding with the installation - automatically. Other Windows Installer tools simply allow the setup to fail and exit.

Exclusive! Compression Hyperthreading
Dual core, hyperthreaded processors, and multi processor systems are automatically detected, allowing compression tasks to be spread across multiple (logical) CPUs to reduce build times.

Enhanced! Setup Repackaging
Convert setups to Windows Installer format by capturing the system changes made during the installation process. Enhanced to reduce package clean-up tasks.

Exclusive! Simplified Windows Installer MSI Development
InstallAware's powerful MSIcode simplifies setup development by transparently managing all of your Windows Installer conditions, installation sequences and parameters using a concise and human-readable setup language. Drop-in setup actions are configured using dialogs, without requiring programming skills. MSIcode builds a standard Windows Installer database package that fully supports advertising, install-on-demand, elevated privilege installation, and resiliency.

Exclusive! Mirrored Code and Visual Development
InstallAware's advanced development tools include wizards, templates, drag-and-drop editing, and refined task views-with the added benefit of immediate MSIcode generation. Start a project in seconds in with visual tools, then switch to the Code View to add branching logic, variables, and advanced configuration options. Unlike InstallShield's isolated script and visual environments, when you modify settings in one view, the other view changes instantly.

Exclusive! One-Click Technology Preinstalls
Deploy technology modules and runtimes, such as Microsoft SQL Express 2005, from your setup in a single step. Any related preinstalls are added to your project automatically. Plus, the preinstall sequence branches by platform.

Exclusive! Multi-Core Compression
InstallAware uses all available processor cores during the build process to reduce build times. You have the latest in hardware - why let your software hold you down? Build twice as fast with a dual core processor, and four times as fast with a quad core processor. Scale up to more cores effortlessly and automatically.

Exclusive! Superior Compression
Reduce the size of your setups and download packages by up to 5x with the LZMA compression algorithm and BCJ2 compression pre-processors. Only InstallAware provides advanced compression for Windows Installer setups.
