Review Advanced Installer For Java 6.4 is a Windows Installer authoring tool which enables developers to easily build native launchers, installers, patches and on-line updates for Java applications, integrating them fully into the operating system and making them look and feel just like native applications. With a painstaking attention to detail, Advanced Installer ensures your application can be used like any regular, Windows native program: with its own process name, icon, version, splash screen, digital signature, shortcuts, file associations and so on. The standard Windows install technology, Windows Installer, gives you the best possible integration of your application in the Windows Platform. It also ensures the smallest possible footprint by producing zero-overhead install packages which contain only native Windows Installer data with no additional runtime requirements. Together with strong LZMA compression and Pack200 packing this results in tiny installers. Uniquely focusing from its very beginnings on the ease of use, Advanced Installer is completely GUI-driven, with intuitive and simple access to all the powerful functionality it offers. Friendly wizards, smart assistants and re-packagers allow even non-experts to produce complete, valid and reliable installers in mere minutes. Install packages can run on all Microsoft Windows operating systems, from 95 to the latest Vista, both 32 and 64-bit. Native Mac OS X bundles can also be generated from the same project file. A required JRE can be bundled or downloaded and installed on demand. Additional applications and components are supported as prerequisites, merge modules, or through repackaging and importing. A few of the numerous features packed in Advanced Installer: software auto-updater, full dialog editor, digital signatures, EXE bootstrapper, over 25 localizations, CD/DVD autorun, user accounts, task scheduler, XML updates, Java services and many more are ready to be used with just a few mouse clicks. |
