We chose Advanced Installer as our application packaging solution because of its ability to automate the update process for our customers.
With Advanced Installer, we can ensure that our users have the latest version of our software without any manual intervention or disruption to their workflow.
The much awaited Trusted Signing is finally here to help you simplify the process of acquiring, securing, and using your code signing certificates.
We worked with the Advanced Installer team in an effort aimed at improving the security and efficiency of software deployment processes for developers and IT professionals globally.
The integration of Trusted Signing into Advanced Installer makes it easier for tens of thousands of developers and IT professionals to sign their packages while relying on their existing Azure tenant to provide secure access management for their certificate profiles.
This integration doesn’t just streamline the code signing process; it sets a new standard for secure software distribution.
We adopted Advanced Installer after evaluating the usual suspects and have been delighted by it on a few fronts.
Firstly, there's a lot of power right there in the interface.
We do a lot of IIS and SQL work in our install, and we can configure 90% of what we want right there in the Advanced Installer front end.
We recognize the importance of using a professional tool for packaging our software.
We chose Advanced Installer due to its flexibility, technical capabilities, and progressive approach - let's appreciate that it is the first packaging software solution to support the innovative MSIX format.
Advanced Installer is, now, an intrinsic part of our software development process, with packaging outcomes complementing the quality of our products
If you want a quality installer product that “just works”, is easy to use, and is packed with features, I strongly recommend Advanced Installer.
In less than 15 minutes, I had an installation package that was ready to go. And in another 10 (only because I poked around a bit), I had a fully deployable package, complete with all my needed prerequisites, ready for distribution. Take it from me – don’t waste valuable time trying to find another solution; use Advanced Installer and spend your hours doing something more productive with your life or enjoying that time with family, and friends, or just sleeping.
