Press Release Summary: InstallAware 8 provides one-click installation for Microsoft’s newest technologies and runtimes, including modular support for .NET Framework versions 2.0 with Service Pack 2 and 3.0 with Service Pack 2.
Press Release Body: San Francisco CA, September 8, 2008 - InstallAware Software Corporation has shipped a free update for InstallAware, allowing ISVs and enterprises to deploy the latest technologies included in Microsoft’s new Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 programming environment. Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2008 was released only two weeks ago, and InstallAware is the only commercial installation toolkit at this time that allows the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1, as well as SQL Server Express 2008, which are the two major enhancements offered in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1. InstallAware pioneers this support ahead of all other competitors, including InstallShield.
“Once again InstallAware has responded to new technologies faster than any other installation vendor, as was the case with.NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, SQL Server 2005, Windows Installer 4.5, and the list goes on even further,” says Roy Nevens, CEO of InstallAware Software Corporation. “We have established ourselves as the market leader in providing these vital updates free and before any other vendor. I must add it takes companies such as InstallShield three months or longer to get these updates ready, while charging for them most of the time too.”
With this free update, InstallAware now provides one-click deployment for SQL Server Express 2008, an inherently difficult component to deploy. A single check-box is all it takes to deploy this runtime with InstallAware, thanks to InstallAware’s intelligent runtime installation technology which automatically detects all hardware and software requirements, and automatically installs all necessary technology pre-requisites. Because InstallAware has a built-in database of dependencies, developers will never have to guess which runtimes are required by their application. InstallAware will also compress all included runtimes up to 67% better, utilizing its LZMA/BCJ2 compression algorithm - when those runtimes are packaged with InstallAware.
InstallAware also allows modular installation of .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 subcomponents, namely .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 and .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2. This permits developers greater flexibility in applying these service pack levels to their end-user’s systems, helping them selectively distribute just the technologies they need.
InstallAware is available in multiple editions with prices starting at US$399. A time limited fully-functional trial download is available at www.installaware.com .
