Often you need to create
distinct install packages of your products, configured for different
platforms or editions. Advanced Installer makes this extremely easy with
its integrated build system which allows you to generate multiple
separate installers from a single project.
Multiple build configurations
Once your application project is created, simply add different build configurations, starting from scratch or duplicating an existing scenario. For each installer you can then customize:
Install
Parameters- Prerequisites
- Launch Conditions
- Custom Actions
- Archives and Volumes Layout
- EXE bootstrapper
- User Interface (Theme, Translations)
- Included Features (with files, folders, shortcuts, registry entries)
Resources added later to your project will be automatically available in all build configurations.
Multiple installer types
Advanced Installer supports the following build types, which you can add to your project in any number:
Windows Installer builds
- Most used type of build
- Can be used to create regular MSI installers
- Installers can be optionally wrapped in EXE bootstrappers
MacOS X build
- Installation package for Java applications ready to be deployed on Mac OS X
App-V builds
- Available when you are creating App-V packages
- Requires Advanced Installer Architect Edition
